Re:

Proflex Animal World Cup Design 1996

I bought it a year ago, it was a wreck.

Yesterday I enjoyed my first ride

Re:

Nice Animal
Are the rear elastomers from suspension fork parts.Net? They look pretty good.
Savoie area of France look like the ideal terrain for a Proflex!

Newly acquired for £91. After a fork service and lube it should be good. First time out, before lubing the fork, I decked it having expected it to grip. Read about it here......https://wordpress.com/post/mountainbiker.home.blog/822

Very nice! How much travel do you get from the Girvin fork?
I built my own "No Bob Girvin" fork to replace the dreadful RS Quadra 5 which it came with.

I wrote about it in my blog.....https://mountainbiker.online/2019/10/29 ... made-bike/

Couldn't find a 'show us your'-thread of Proflex!?! :?

I recently bought a 855 (after selling my 856 some time ago ). Bought it for €50 with LX V-brakes, LX rear mech, XT front mech, XT lever/shifter combo and XTR (M900 crank)! Very pleased with that.. It got a new coil spring for the rear, but nothing for the Vector2. Luckily I had some Land Rover bushes, so I can start building it....

Was looking for some nice examples, so that's way I started this thread!

Let me see your Proflex!

Here’s mine with a full 1x conversion, disc brakes, all new contact points
