Well it looks like one of these may have to go :(,
just seeing if there is any interest out there for one
of them and what anyone maybe willing to part with for one :P,may split into frameset with fork instead of complete bike,
full details will go to anyone showing a serious interest,
will only sell to someone from this site,won't be advertised elsewhere.

well..... the top one is a "Simonized" 856 and the lower one is a "Simonized" Oz.
damn :( why are you selling these bikes..you have put so much :-* into each one of them!
.....uh...I'll take one or both of the forks....send me a PM.

Simon you must be cracy!!!!
You just can't sell those bikes.
You've spent that much time and energy into these projects. This confuses me.
What's the reason for that decision?
-
Okay okay I know I must be mad,
but its simple, I've spent the last couple of weeks testing a Whyte E-5 and a Whyte 46,
simply fell in love with the 46 and god bless her my wife put down the deposit,got to wait a while for it
but of course I added a couple of small upgrades (Hope floating rotors for one),
anyway I'm running out of room in my garage for all our bikes and some money wouldn't go amiss either,
but mostly I'd hate to see one of my bikes sat around
doing nothing, I want to know it would be out tearing up the trails, thats what I built them for,
if they don't sell I won't be heart broken,
but don't forget if I sell one I still have 2 other Proflexes.

Hey Simon,
[smiley=nod.gif]I'd truly love to buy the 856 ;D it would have a great home with it's older brother my 855!!! Let me know how much (USD) you need for it.
Hope your well,

Wow!!!!
That poor Whyte is going to get "Simonized" I am sure! Nice that it originates in your home country.
But I bet your 2 masterpieces will get a good home.
Congrates on swaying the wifie.

Dude!
How about Plan B: Keep your bikes. Forget the Whyte. Use the quid to take a big family trip over to ride the States! [smiley=beer.gif]
How do you price those bikes? Guys, I've seen them up close :o and the work is unbelievably precise. The welding, machining, and part fit is better than just about any factory work.
Hate to say it, but the 856 with the faux bar is easily worth $2,500 or more. The Oz? Who knows? More quid than I've got.

Okay still got them,
anyway if anyone's interested may part out the 856
as a frame only,
if I do Carbonangus the forks will be yours,
other than that I can build the bike to lower spec
to reduce the cost ;D,I've already pinched the rear wheel for the Whyte :P.
