That is one seriously sweet frame :D looking forward to seeing the build

That is totally mint check the link out to my build of a 852 for advice on the rear sus. http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=98374 Its on page 2

Need to try and find a flexstem/ bar combo or a Mint black Flexstem

Re: 852 Very cool :D like the green paint, what spec is it?

Still waiting for the frame to come :roll: although I think I've source a fair amount of the M730 groupset I need including the rare as hens teeth Endless band on front mech as mentioned by legrandefromage :D

Its a long term build so will try and spec all M730 and I think the rear brake rocker is present, good advice on the Elastomers as I was a little worried about sourcing these :D just need to find a Flexstem bar combo then. Again everyone thanks for your kind words and advice :D

Wow minter love the colour choice was toying with the idea of getting mine resprayed team red with silver/grey swing arm :D

:D sure is let me know how you get on with your build what frame you got?

Thanks, I will get more photo's up as soon as it arrives :D

Great thanks for your help :D

Yes :D, Massive thanks again for pointing it out to me :D

Fantastic many thanks for the link :D

Thanks for that, I will contact them as soon as my frame arrives and i've checked the condition of the suspension :D

I may at some point as I think the vectors are awesome, but a fellow Retro biker has just contacted me with some rigid proflex forks off a 952 and a Flexstem which sounds a bit too good to miss. Anyone got any idea's of where I can get replacement Elastomers and bearings for the frame please.

Many thanks, Its my first build so very excited :D think I will try and build as near to period as poss with Proflex rigid forks and Girvin Flexstem when I can track them down.

what's the name of the Shimano xtr groupset from 1992 please?

1992 Offroad Proflex 852, just purchased and will be my new build, watch this space as build info plus pic's to follow :D

As of 10min its ago I am now the new owner of a 852 frame, still looking for the above models tho

Thanks for the heads up much appreciated, its a little earlier a model than I was looking for, but I think I will have a cheeky bid as a low start price and it does look nice :D

WTD size Small Proflex prefer 857 or 957 and must be size small :D or 856 considered
