Title: THIS SITE JUST SAVED MY 857!
Post by: onedirtjumper on May 19, 2003, 05:12:45 pm
I'm so glad I found this site.  I ride 20" for the most part but I loved riding my Pro-Flex until my 20" riding buddies started ragging on me for riding a mtb!  I set the 857 in the closet for the better part of 4 years while i rode nothing but little bikes.  I broke one too many bones so I decided to dust the 857 off and go for a spin.  I don't know why I quit in the first place.  I was discouraged when I couldn't find any replacement parts for it on-line though.  I was thinking of getting a new bike all together but not anymore.  I'm a little paranoid of the rear NR-2 and was thinking of an aftermarket rear shock.  This site has already helped me a ton.  Just wanted to say thanks!

that's very cool   [smiley=nod.gif]
i too owe this forum a great deal, as i'm sure we all do  :)
i certainly wouldn't be riding an oZ otherwise [thanks epac!] and my 957 has benefited a lot along the way...

 8) This site also saved my 856 from being sold to make room for a new bike. I am so glad to have stumbled on to this site when I did. It was thru this site I have upgraded and still ride & love my Pro-flex. I let my friends ride my 856 for thoose who are thinking about buying a MTB it really hooks them into it. The all ask me to sell it but I say NO! Thanks to this site for making 8 new MTBers directly due to riding my Pro-flex 856.
