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?
Hey Ed. I would dig that size large. If DrJustinD would send it my way, I could swap ya.

NR2 and Manitou Swinger shocks for Sale.
« Reply #646 on: August 22, 2009, 03:44:09 pm »
I've decided to start clearing out some of my surplus parts and these have been sitting for a while. I have two Noleen NR2 shocks and three springs. The weights of the springs are 2 at 450 lbs one at 500 lbs. These are the stock shocks that came off the EVO frames. $50.00 plus actual shipping. I will sell all items separately if interested.

E-mail if interested.  oldrhino47 AT sbcglobal DOT net

K2 Noleen Smart Shock Rear NB175
« Reply #649 on: August 23, 2009, 02:15:49 pm »
I did an air shock upgrade last year so my noleen is now available to anyone staying faithful to the original spec. It's off small 5000 so has a light spring (nb175) and all the important stuff is in good nick,i.e. no leaks, smart system working fine etc

I've got no idea what it's worth but would prefer someone who wants it to have this rather than skip it so make me an offer before I try fleabay!  ;)

you can mail me direct at stewart.felstead@oracle.com with any questions

Hello.

I'm new here but joined a while back after picking up an original (down to the tyres) Proflex 552. I've just found the following unidentified Proflex going very cheap on e-bay in Sydney and as much as I'd love to put in a bid, I don't think my wife would be too forgiving.

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160356400605#description

Cheers,

Douggie.

OK guys this is a sticky where you can reply and paste links to any interesting stuff for sale.
Obviously the idea it is K2 or Proflex related,be it frames forks whole bikes or aftermarket parts for our bikes
It doesnt have to be Ebay and since where are a whole of the World forum i guess it can be items for sale from anywhere
I will come through every now and then and remove the outdated links
If a long discussion ensues i may start a new thread about the particular item,ie the team bike thread

Holy Cow, look at the size of that guy's hand! He must be 8 feet tall. He makes it look like a kiddie bike. His hand is the size of the saddle.. :o :o

It's an 856 style "Animal"

Looks like the rear swing arm was replaced with a silver one, 'cos I think they were yellow as original.

OK folks, here are today's goodies!

First, I wanted to say that I'm now using a site called Craiglook to query proflex-relared keywords on all CL sites simultaneously...so here are the query URLs I use:

"proflex"    http://www.craiglook.com/bikes.html?q=proflex

"pro flex"   http://www.craiglook.com/bikes.html?q=pro+flex

"K2"         http://www.craiglook.com/bikes.html?q=k2

"girvin"     http://www.craiglook.com/bikes.html?q=girvin


Also, I found one particular bike that seems like a great deal: a 4000 in Portland for $300. Looks to be in good condition and original:

WANTED: - Canti cable Hanger for a Flex~Stem
« Reply #656 on: August 31, 2009, 06:39:18 am »
Hi All,
I've just bought a FLEX STEM to fit to my old rigid Marin Pine Mountain to make it into an honourary PRO~FLEX !!



BUT, the Canti cable hanger is missing.

The Red bit in this Piccie ( not the MCU though!)


Anyone got a spare one that they can part with?

I'm in the UK

Also, anyone got any advice on getting MCU's for these? I seem to recall something in the day about using Skateboard ones....?

Nice, what is that a 120??

Skateboard bushings found at a good shop may work. Just get the softest ones they have.

You may have to find a bolt-on hanger that mounts at the headset. I will look through my box of bits for a hanger, as I recieved a few of these as a gift a while back.

Hello,

I have a Proflex Beast for sale in Red & Black. I think from looking through other threads that it may be a '97'. I have owned the bike for 6 years & used it a few times each year. It has been serviced a few times & recently had a new cassette a chain fitted. My knowledge of bikes is minimal so cannot give you any technical info. I have been told it is a size 20".
I was advised through the bike radar forum to advertise it here. Can anyone give me an indication of value?
Located in Haworth, West Yorkshire.

Thanks
Kevin
