  • 757 Forever!
757 for sale
« Reply #632 on: August 13, 2009, 04:29:57 am »
Hi Guys, not been on the forum for a while due to ill health and now am having to sell the bike due to not being able to ride it anymore. (2 hand operations will do that to you).
So here it is....

A proflex 757 in fair condition and with all original equipment that it left the factory with (inc girvin forx) pics to follow or if you mail me I will email them to you.

Bike is in Stoke-on-Trent in the UK and im looking for £150 but you will have to pick up or arrange courier.

Thanks and keep riding....
Mark

Size is Large.... Sorry for forgetting to put that on.

This bike is now sold... To a very nice chap off this forum and I hope he has many happy hours riding around on it.

Hello all,

Just saw some interesting ads, thought I'd post them:

5500c in Las Vegas, no Crosslink but 2 wheel discs, $500:
http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/bik/1326589035.html

856 in Hawaii, looks like a late model with ODS/GDT combo, $450:
http://honolulu.craigslist.org/big/bik/1326529201.html

857 in Portland, OR, $750 (holy crap!):
http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/bik/1326617961.html

4000 in Sacramento, CA for $700 (also seems expensive):
http://sacramento.craigslist.org/bik/1323046602.html

856 in Phoenix, later Girvin Expert fork, looks nice for $300:
http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/bik/1324948595.html

Beast for $200 in Minnesota, no pics:
http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/bik/1301969152.html

Thats all for now!

Not sure if any of you have seen this ride before...I came across it while looking for a 957 frameset. Looks like the guy has sold the Spengle wheels separately and is now looking for a buyer for the frame & other goodies. UK folks, this might be an easy grab for you. I'm still in search of a polished 957 frame and fork.

A large would be best, but a Medium would work, too. My 856's are all larges, my 4000 is a Way Big, but the 16" 856 I snagged for my wife also seemed to work for me the few times I tried it.

Oh how sweet that you 2 have matching 856s. ;D
The wife and I have matching 957s, although hers is oh-so small. 8)
However she does'nt share the shiny bike fever. :(

Haha, yeah, she and I both have silver 856's...though I had to bling hers out a bit with a nice Pulstar wheelset that came on the most recent near-new 856 acquisition...we'll just keep an eye on that infamous freehub body, though :-/

I still need to weigh the lightweight 856 build I did...it's definitely a good 2 or more pounds lighter than the other bikes. Would eventually like to move all those components to whatever 957 frame I'm able to find, when/if I find it.

Maybe you and your wife need new bikes ;-)

Hi all, first post newbie here but I am going straight to the source.  I am selling my grape 857 medium frame and Cross Link fork because I am gathering too many frames around the house.  It is in great condition with some paint chips but no dings or dents, the decals are in excellent shape.  The PO used it to ride around the park and I put less than 100 miles on it myself.  The shocks aren't leaking and the bushings are holding up well, there is a little squeak from the rear.  I took the derailleur hanger off so it doesn't get bent but it's included as well and the BB and the headset.  I don't know what to ask but am starting at $150.  If that's off then please make an offer.  Anyway, here's some pics. If you have specific requests I can take more shots too.   Mike

I have a vintage 1997 Proflex/BMW XL jersey that hardly fit me when I was 200 lbs...Now that I am a little bigger, it's time to pass it on to someone who can appreciate it !  I've seen that these things have been posted here before, but I have not been privy to how much they actually sold for.  Let me know what you guys think it's worth.  I am going to put it on ebay sometime tomorrow if I don't hear back...Happy riding.  I just sold my 656 on craisglist and dusting off my 856, sprucing it up with new upgrades!!

Hi DrJustinD - I'd be interested in that shirt - I bought an identical one on Ebay a year ago for £12 in size L, but it was too small for me. I'd be happy to pay that again plus some postage?
