Not mine, just passing on the info.

Seller doesn't know it's for a proflex.

I still have mine, that I got at a swap meet a couple of months ago (from the same guy that's running this auction??).  $15 to anybody that wants it!

Well, you can check the weight of the carbon Swingarm on my gallery. I'm waiting to take off the aluminium one to weight it...

Martin, the swap should be direct, I have seen it done a couple of time before.

From where do you hail?

Terry in L.A.

Thanks

I think it would be a longshot, but stranger things happen.
