Woohoo!  Found a ProFlex Animal on Craigslist in Everett WA.  Got it for 250.  It'll need some work on the bb and maybe a chainring, freewheel and chain but the rest is adjustments.  Now I have two to maintain along with a carbon link fork from cl a couple weeks ago for 50.  When someone comes to visit, we can attack the park in the dark with lights.

There's another proflex on craigslist here in town but it's a small.  http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/bik/1631686668.html

Hey Purp (we're all friends now  ;D) , I know you will know this already but the 4000 came with a carbon swingarm so I guess what you need is a evo Disco monkey style swing arm?
I dont have one but does anyone else?

My feelings exactly on the not enough proflex prophylaxis to suit.  Space is at a premium though as I am setting up a mini-machine center too.  I expect some shiny bike bits will be milled/turned after the fuel injection project is done.  I have retired since joining this forum so have a little more time for projects.

I have a fine 854 looking for a good home, along with the bike I have a Girvin Vector 2 for complete and an extra rear shock.

Here is a look at the bike and I will happily supply any other pictures:

Hi guys.

I need a x57 style rear strut.
I have a Manitou Swinger 3 here for almost a year, and I want to weld some plates to the strut so I can mount the shock directly into it.
I don't want to damage the original strut, so I could make use of a spare one to mod it.

Anyone with a spare strut for a x57 bike?

Whisperdancer, I don't have an extra but have been looking for a spare myself...if you happen to get multiple responses would you please send one my way, after you have what you need, of course?

Thanks!

They are really hard to find, aren't they?
We can find all sorts of parts for the Proflx bikes, but not the strut... I wonder why...

I have a 200mm i2i swinger 3, but I need a 190mm.
If I could get a 190mm one, I would make an adapter, but I can't find one for a good price.
The modified strut would allow to use the 200mm shock.

I won't be bidding...heck, I only just sold one of the Way Big frames I was trying to unload. Sadly that didn't stop me from jumping at a $50 857 frame I saw on my local Craigslist last night...we'll see what happens with that.
