Malicious Afterthought
Devout Dirtbag
One "Second Chance Offer", £60 and a trip to Cheltenham and back, and I now own a ProFlex 854.
Good bits:
Frame in excellent condition
LX front hub on a Mavic 238 rim
LX rear hub on a FIR rim with anodised purple nipples! And some trick skewers, I think.
XT Front Mech
Gripshift
Zoom Aluminium bar, decent bar ends
Tyres are in excellent condition and good ones (Panaracer and Ritchey)
LX Rear Cantilever
M525 SPDs
Woman's saddle
Diacompe PC5 levers
Girvin Vector forks
Chainset I suspect is an STX one
Crud Guard and Crud Catcher
Light weight
Bushings seem OK
Bad points:
Suspension isn't moving, so I suspect that the elastomers are dead
Frame is too big for MrsA, and, I suspect, too small for me.
7 speed.
Damage on swingarm.
Lord knows what I'm going to do with it. I was going to use the forks and wheels on the RTS, but now it is in my possession, I'm getting a little attached to it. I was grinning all the way home with it in the boot of the car.
EDIT: And I still haven't fixed the fence, I know...
