1990 OFFROAD PROFLEX BOB GIRVIN

[TillyfaylergtXiz]

Hello folks,
Bit of advice needed if at all possible,was lucky enough to get my hands on my Brother in law's old 1990 Bob GIRVIN off road proflex as of today for a complete restoration.
Apart from the bars which are Alloy Bull bars it is from what can tell complete and original down to the tyres/pads etc.
It was sprayed in GT45 and garaged since 1991 and now I'm going to restore it.
Is this particular year of manufacture rare? I've heard there are only very few 1990 Bob GIRVIN PROFLEX which I believe was the first year of these full suspension bikes then the numbered bikes followed.
As you can tell I'm far from knowledgeable so if anyone has any advice I will be all ears,also what's the chance of getting spare rubber suspension bushes if required?
Many thanks again folks and stay happy,Phil

Thats really cool - would be nice to see some pics of the whole bike.

Rear elastomer might be good with one of these:

For the front half decent flex stems are pretty easy to find on evil bay & use the elastomer out of one,

Very cool and definitely worth a decent restoration!

The 1990 versions were the only versions handbuilt at Serotta and only 100 or so were made - so they're rare as well.

It's already looking in decent Survivor condition, more pictures of the complete bike please
