Hello - Bought this bike WAY back and have used it a lot.... Then decided to (due to poor frame condition) strip it down and repaint the frame. That was 2 years ago. The old Proflex 957 was meant to look like this...
However, thanks to my (ab)use it now from today looks like this:-
I am aiming to get this bike back into a sensible oem state, but obviously in black, not polished alloy. Due to my obsession with cars (I drive a very powerful diesel Skoda Fabia....) I have decided to paint the bike frame & parts VW metallic black. I have purchased some new recent Deore XT gearing, and aim to rebuild using the original XT V-brakes and original wheels. The bike came with Pace RC37 forks so they will be going on and I will be looking to service them, along with the Noleen rear shock.
Hoping to get some good advice along the way from this forum!
