PROFLEX 962 ...... Hope disc Mavics XT

[marcusfordus]

Here's Harrys beast, and what a prime specimen it looks too.

I don't think it's a £600'er but it has to be worth more than any normal run-of-the-mill Proflex.

Top notch, just wish I could actually spare that amount of cash for it. I'm a tad short of that figure :roll:

Having looked at XYZ and taking into account everyone's very helpful opinions........£400. Did I mention it has anodised nipples?!

I've got the rest of the pictures come through

So tempted, just need those frame measurements from you to see if it's the right size.

That's not a 962, a 962 is a 92 frame that frame is earlier, 90-91 maybe ?, definetely not a 92 though, stickers on the top tube are not original.

Dont take this as criticism Harry, it's a very nice example, just not a 962, 950 maybe ? (the last number on the Proflex model indicates year so a 1990 would end in 0)

Pretty sure frame size is 16", Proflex's are measured centre to centre so are big for their size.

£400 is a bit more realistic GLWTS

None taken. The plot thickens.

Thanks to all who have pm'd me.

Seems to be a concensus that the bike could have been a prototype or limited edition for the race team.......this is the opinion of the RB afficionados and not little old me.

I now fully expect someone to say...."No, it's a Carrera from Halfords!!"

PS......it's still for sale.

Last post £200....if no sale I'll ride it through the summer. Cheers for everyone's input.
