Wow! that "959" went for a fairly good price didn't it! Makes Craig's one look very good value indeed!

959 was a made up name from within this forum (and "855 Heads" forum) for the OzM to continue the venarable PRO~FLEX annual naming tradition of 954, 955, 956, 957, (5500 = "958") and so thus the "959" for the Ultimate OzM.

i.e.

858 = 4500 (1998)
958 = 5500
859 = OzX  (1999)
959 = OzM

hence the decal set that made its way around the forum? (I have a copy). So how is it likely that that particular bike got called 959 - a former member here owned it at some point?

I dropped Mike a "heads up" note but this one wasn't his.

K2 Flying monkey - looks like a rebadged proflex - never seen one of these before.
Bit far for me, Buckingham.

I will cut the disc brake adapter I welded to the frame if wanted. It will be sanded smooth as well. ;)
