Pro-flex 957 frame up build *stripping content*

Bit of a skip to the finish, but all done now.
Went with some Mavic D521 rims on Hope bulb (rear) and XT 780 (front), with Panaracer FireXCpro tyres. Had to fit the 952 rear mech as I realised there’s no trim for adjustment on the thumbie or 951 mech. Had a 9 speed M750 cassette in my spares and some Ritchey skewers.
Will upload a spec list once I’m 100% happy but a quick few miles today as a shake down went really well.
 
Nice job. Have you considered tapping the mech cable hole to take an adjuster ? I did it on an old xt mech for exactly that reason.

Thanks TT, I did consider that, but luckily I had an alternative which didn’t need any fettling to fit. Wasn’t sure about drilling/tapping on an XTR mech unless absolutely necessary(!)
 
Would definitely be hidden by paint, it’s stamped really shallow - wasn’t til I started cleaning/polishing that I noticed it.
 
That is looking really nice, i love a polished Proflex. Polished my 856 bitd and was going to polish my 857 too but ended up selling the frame.

Here is the tube decal off of mine
