Title: Pro Flex 254, 854, & Rback Pics
Post by: Vexableman on August 15, 2004, 11:32:07 am
Ever wonder what a Pro Flex 254, 854 and a K2 Razorback would look like after a winter of Ebay purchases?  Talk about your brand loyalty...

See the gallery of Vexableman.  Cheers.

They were made by Zoom and are from the early 90's.  A pair with black covers was originally on the 254 pictured. Those are now on the 854.  As it happens, a company in Chicago regularily has 'em on Ebay (US), and indeed they do right now.  Search on Zoom Bars.

Impressive.  Maybe you have seen this, but if not check out my old 953 helping me with a nose wheelie.  Lots of purple accents.  Gallery link is below.

In fact it was your "Old Grey Mare" which started me on my quest for a reborn 854!.  That and the 853 Reborn pic from the old website.  I though many times of fishing to see what has become of your 953.  Thanks Mr. Smith!

I sold it to an old friend in Oregon a few years ago.  I will try and contact him and see if it is collecting dust or resting in peace?  I had broken the original swing arm.  I received a warranty replacement and put it on and sold it.  I will let you know what I find.
