Hello,
I`m looking for a decalset for my K2 5500 completeset, anyone or someone who can make them?
Cheers Bob



The finish on that frame looks to be in really good condition, have you done anything to it or is it original?

Bob I thought it looked good! I've heard of people laquering/clear coating these frames. Id like to do do same to mine as it has quite alot of scratches. What grade paper did you use to rub it down and what clear coat was it you use? A two pack? Did you add a plasticiser to the clear coat to keep it flexible or in theory it shouldn't have needed it?
Thanks
Chris

Proflex 857 for SALE!!!
« Reply #1323 on: October 25, 2012, 10:48:43 am »
Hi all, I have a Red Proflex 857, recently tuned at my LBS (Service Course Velo in Medford, Oregon) that I'm looking to sell.  What's the best way?  Full bike, frame and fork, some other configuration?  I've had it since 98 and replaced/upgraded parts as needed throughout the years, e.g. it has a Risse Racing rear shock that replaced the Noleen when it exploded on me.  Let me know if more info is needed.

Thanks,

Mick
Post pictures on this page so we can look over condition and help you price it. Someone here may want it.

Hey Terry - here are some pics of my Proflex 857 for sale.  It's marked as a Large frame.  I saw on ebay recently that someone sold just the frame and suspension and I'd be willing to break the bike down like that if that's what someone wanted.  I'll post two pics here and two on the next post.

Thanks,

Mick

Just surfing through ebay and found this.  They also have a spring to replace the MCU in the early frames too.  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Proflex-Girvin-Fork-ODS-Suspension-Upgrade-Kit-/200845174056?pt=Cycling_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2ec34e2528

That is one of those Chinese knockoffs that a Spanish company marketed. You can buy the frames on Ebay all day long.

I would still like to sell or trade my 855. It rides nice but the 14" frame would be better for someone shorter than I am (5'9") Asking $400 o.b.o. or would consider a trade of something of equal value. P M me here or email me    spikebenderman@yahoo.com
and we can take it from there.
                                                             Thanks, Tracy
