Is this cheap or all Proflex's go for now a days?

Been out of buying bikes for a few years, so not really sure what the market is like at the moment

[JustKev]

seem them go for less than that!

Nice bike, supprised Ed's not buying it!!

Personally would put a flat bar and Flite on but otherwise, nice.

Never understand peep's that buy a full sus, then put slicks on??

already got one mate (you saw it at Cannock). Trying not to duplicate too much these days!!!!!

Looks a nice bike with a more than OK spec. too. Interesting how much effect having a Judy fork rather than a Girvin has on the price these go for.

Did not sell :shock: mind you it was pick up only and in cumbria. tempted to make him an offer but is there a big difference between the 856 and the 656?

Yes

yes appreciate the cosmetic differences and that the 656 looks so much sexier but was the frame that much better or was it more spec levels?
Say this cause i think i am getting an unnatural fascination with proflex's and think i may aquire more over the coming years (wife allowing)

Question for you orange71 et al.

noticed that my 656 rear triangle suspention unit has some of the spindle showing compared to the fine 656 in oranges post. The silver dial can be tightened on my bike to make this flush but as it came this way i have not changed it. What does this do if anything?

Hope the picture expains what I mean.
