Also - I've noticed that Holburn Cycling (nothing to do with Alpine) further down the road (nextish to Gillies) has also closed and it is empty. Not many Bike shops left in Aberdeen (Halfords / Evans / Edinburgh) only??? A good job that there's still experts in Banchory and Ballater.....

Thanks all -a great story from you all. Sadly Alpine Bikes on Holburn are now closed. I went to look in just the other week to buy some parts - I was most surprised to find it gone - I had to go to Evans on Union Street....

Now you need a set of Girvin front forks to match it in full K2 4000 (Proflex) Spec... (and it was made 1999...)

Hi, Yes you can replace the old Elastomers with retrofit springs. It won't be cheap. Some of the 'newer' Proflex bikes can be replaced by standard Noleen 'spring' replacements with both front and rear versions. However I would recommend to replace with Risse Racing as these with fit virtually...

Hi Vic, As a Proflex fan I'm interested given its 'local'. I don't do Facebook. Is it still on and can I get a link to the seller?

IceCzar, I think Noleen Racing (the original K2 Smart Shocks) still make complete and parts (try www.noleenj6.com). I've attached a copy of the Tech parts sheet which might help as well....

My old Mercian started with 70*** under the BB - and it was made and collected direct from Mercian in 1970.... Hope that helps - Thanks for your copy from your Uncle - a good bike in graet condition... K.

THM - that one is a beauty by Charlies - any another's hidden away?

THM - another lovely ALVES. Charlie built well…..

This one was built by Charlie Ralph of Alves Cycles, from his workshop base near Elgin. Alves bikes were made to individual (and some very special) specifications and tend to be light, but robust to suit local conditions in the Highlands and Spey valley, so by their very nature are built to take...

Yes I've still got No 51 - August 1972. Do you want to buy it? I've still got from Number 11 March 1969 – Number 13 May/June 1969, Number 15 August 1969 – Number 32 January 1971 and Number 35 April 1971 – Number 57 February 1973.

W, Thank you for the feedback. Most are now 25 - 30 years old and many are (very) well used. In the UK many I've followed have been over advertised, but I've seen well used actually sold at £80 / £120, the few in good at £180 - £250 and precious few at mint with low miles at £250 / £300. Thanks...

Thanks. A nice bike - sorry I've missed it. What did it sell for?

W, Is it still for sale??? What size (looks like a Large but might be a Medium) It's been modified from original, but I've got 4 (Proflexs) and it might be a good addition to me (In Scotland).....K

J. More from your collection- on sale??? K.

V, I think you sold it to me a long time ago (and I paid it nearly twice the price - a bit rich eh??? - its now for sale)......

Hi Colin, Yes thanks for 'my understanding' of Proflex and later (last) K2 versions. It took about 5 years to put together and I've had some differences from papers and comments from 'experts'... and that means there might be 'typos' in my Proflexthesis document..... And that's about 'XPS and...

My Dave Davey (1961) is still up for sale if you would like another one? (I'm to old to use it any more).......

what is ST and TT sizes? and would you send it to Scotland?
