Wanted: Girvin Elite Cross-Link, Damper and spring

[chrisj]

I have just brought a ProFlex 857 frame here in New Zealand, and all the reading I have done thought the bike looked pretty cool.

The frame came with Girvin Elite Cross-Link forks. The Girvin has all the top upper and lower link mounts brackets etc, but no front suspension at all.

All the websites that show that model of Girvin's have the centre damper, with the spring.

Does anyone have the damper with spring, with applicable spacers to suit, or recommendations.
I have read the Risse Genesis is also a possible option??

Many thanks
Chris

Risse Genesis or Noleen Item #: NR2-PRCL

Hello,
Many thanks for the links.

I sent an email to Risse to confirm if the Risse Genesis or Astro 5 fits the crosslink.

For anyone interested I also contacted Callum at Rapid Decent:

He suggested the Girvin Elite Crosslinks use a noleen NR2 shock with a black 200 lbs/inch spring. It's an oil dampened shock that is nitrogen charged.

He suggested this link: https://www.j6shocks.com/

If anyone has a spare Risse Genesis or Noleen Item #: NR2-PRCL, even a Girvin Elite Crosslink complete would also be great (nothing like having a spare) they would like to sell. I am sure I can put it to a good home.

Regards Chris

don't come across them very often unfortunately - your best bet apart from a Risse shock is a 2nd hand complete set of forks off your auction site of choice... the latter probably being the cheaper option.
