Title: Proflex 855 for sale
Post by: John Stimpson on September 29, 2005, 11:03:07 pm

I have an 855 that I bought from a friend 2 years ago.  I replaced the Girvin set-up with some Bomber forks and a Woodman stem on the front and a Risse shock on the back.  It also had a new Mavic rim and Shimano hub on the front at the same time.  Since then I've hardly ridden it and now I'm selling.

E-mail me at john@bowerock.co.uk if you're interested for more details.

I thought about £250?

Location - Northants, UK.  I can deliver in Northants, Cambs, possible Leics and Beds.

they feel lighter (not sure if they are) and certainly have a lot more travel...

by the time i bought the bike the polymers in the girvin had just about had it though, so I guess I never got to feel how it should have done.
