No longer for sale
I have one of the very first Funk Pro Comps ever made.
I bought it in 1987 and it is a 1988 year model.
It is unrestored as it.....*gasp*....does not need it.
It does indeed have a storied history, but that really doesn't fall into this post.
Lets see.
The color is named Flour (or possibly Flower, too long ago, don't recall exactly) yellow.
It reacts with natural sunlight UV (it glows in the sun).
It is one of the first 10 that Daryl Funk sold and has the original Fisher Mt. Tam Evolution fork with the Evolution 1¼" headset.
The front wheel is one of the original (hand rolled by Keith) Bontrager Mavic MA40 roadie wheels in 28 spoke with (what was at the time) the only Shimano XT front hub in 28 spoke config.
Rear wheel is a nothing fancy Mavic 261CD in 32 spoke.
Both have wheelsmith 15-17 DB stainless spokes with red anno nipples.
Bars are Merlin titanium with a (gawd if I remember) CrMo stem.
Seatpost is a IRD (interlock racing division) with a Selle San Marco Concor seat.
Rear deraillieur is XT with the old school red anno Bullseye rollers.
Ft derailleur is a Suntour XT9000 pro with a Alien roller for the cable.
Rear brake is a Scott Pederson SE (self energizing) unit and front is a XT
Crank 175mm Shimmy XT with 26-36-46 discs Shimano small pedals and (don't recall which) toeclips.
Brake levers are the original shorty Shimano XT units with original XT thumbshifters (yes the very first XT indexing type shifter for MTBs). Both are so rare it isn't definable in the English language.
In the pic it is how it sits.....not even washed or rubbed down, or.....well, I haven't done anything to it in a few years now as it just keeps working perfectly.
I am not overly wanting to sell it, but if anyone is honestly interested we could certainly talk about it.
I'm getting a bit too old to ride it as it really needs to be ridden and would honestly like to see it go to a good home where it would be cared for as it certainly warrants.
There are other Funks out there......but I have never seen a first edition one like this other than on the cover of 'Mountain Bike Action' magazine circa about 1998.
BTW, if you go to the Funk website and click on history you will see Daryl Funk holding up.....this bike.
