Sounds great Doug. Rode Oz-lite this morning. The smoother swingarm will really round it out.

Small x57 and "two tube" frames wanted in UK
« Reply #1516 on: September 19, 2015, 04:10:04 am »
Hi All,
Winter '15/16 projects for 'er indoors............

a) Rebuild the Mrs's OzX onto a Small "two tube" frame, as the Medium OzX is just a tad too big for her!
b) Build her a Small x57 type bike as a 700c road bike akin to my XP-X Road Warrior.

So, I am in need of those two small frames please!
Looking for excellent condition frames, Carbon swing arm versions preferred.

Cash buy in the UK.
OR:
I can swap a Medium or Large x57 frame for a Small frame.
I can also potentially swap a Medium 5500 frame (not the OzX) for a small "two tube" frame.

so, examples of what I'm after.........
a) 4000, 5000, Disco Monkey, 900, 1000, 4000RS,
b) 757, 857, 957, 956le, 3000, Animal, 2000

Let me know.......

Cheers,
Col.

December 2015 - Update - Small 4000 sourced, so no need for that now!
December 2016 - Update - Bought her a "real" road bike - Specialized Dolce Sport Equipped

Hello,
          If anyone is from Sydney, Australia and is after a Proflex 857, I've got one for sale.  Pick up is preferred.  Can supply more details if anyone is interested. 

                         Regards,
                                            James

Are you talking about the plastic seals? If so they're still available on eBay:

If not, let us know or post a pic and I'm sure someone will know.

Proflex XP-8 18.5" (L) 1996-7

Its been a while since I've been here, but its time to move on my XP-8 !

I carried out a bit of a project on it to convert it to disc brakes, it is chronicled on here somewhere.

Full spec,

Proflex XP-8 18" frame (1996-7), Noleen NR shock
Girvin Crosslink fork, Noleen NR shock
FSA V-drive 44,32,22 Chainset
FSA Mega Exo external BB
Shimano XT (M770) Rapid fire (9spd)
Shimano XT (M770) Rear mech
Shimano XT (M770) Front mech
Shimano XT 11-32 cassette
Avid Juicy 5's 185fr, 160r
Easton EA-70 bars, seat post , stem (120)
Selle Italia Filante
Xero Element wheel set 26"
Bontrager Jones Mud-X 2.0"
SRAM PC71 Chain
FSA Orbit headset
Yeti lock on grips
Hope seat post binder

I have ridden this bike since 2008 with only the normal problems. I need some space, so this and my 752 have to go!

Was thinking around £375, didnt really want to break the bike down, but lets see how we go!
The bike is in Middlesbrough and I'm in London (Chiswick) from Monday to Friday. In box me or mail me for any other information.

Thanks for looking,
Paul

Do you need the thick or thin ones? Fork ones are thinner than the rear shock ones. I have some of both.

I've always fancied buying a 5000 and fitting the '57 rear end to build a 1997 team bike replica. I bet there arnt many new frames like this around. What's the size? A 58cm top tube would make it a medium..?

The chart says for 4000/5000 - 58.8 top tube is large so guess this is a large.

Hello,

I'm selling my beloved Proflex.  $390 with extras.

Photos here: http://denver.craigslist.org/bik/5306965191.html

This is a 1999 K2 Bike. I'm the only owner. Parts have been upgraded and the aluminum/ carbon fiber frame remains in great shape! This bike had top of the line technology in it's day. It continues to ride very well and does not have a problem hanging with newer bikes.

I've had this bike for a long time as a second bike, but I need to make room in my garage for a fat bike.

Highlights:
-Carbon fiber swingarm
-K2 Smart Shock- electronically regulated dampening
-Noleen air fork
-Spinenergy Spox carbon fiber rear wheel
-XTR/ Bontrager front wheel
-3 speed XT front derailleur
-8 speed SRAM X9 rear derailleur
-Answer riser bar
-WTB saddle
-Size large, but standover height can fit smaller

Comes with extra:
-WTB front wheel with Continental slick commuter tire
-XT rear wheel with Continental slick commuter tire
-2 studded snow tires

Come on by for a test ride! Text or call
720-four2seven-nine9three-4
