I have been pondering a Proflex for years, but never found 'the one'.
That all changed last year when I found this one on ebay, after talking to the vendor it transpired that he is Mr752 on here, the bike was advertised here but I somehow missed it. :facepalm:
Anyway a deal was done, I was very exited, the day it arrived was like Christmas, it was soon together and out for a ride.
It is just as nice to ride as I thought it would be.
So the history behind this Proflex.
Mr 752 Purchased it new in 92 from Back2bikes of Great Ayton for use as his race bike, it was used on NEMBA events and made regular appearances on the Bosley Mud Slide, Hamsterly Hammer and the Boltby Bash.
Shocktech forks, DX transmission, Campy rims on XT hubs, all hardware Ti or ano. I must also say it has been maintained very well.
I've made a couple of changes to it to suit me, then used it on some of trailquest events plus quite a few rides.
