Title: Interesting frame at the NEW Proflex site
Post by: DugB on October 29, 2008, 08:23:04 am

Hello all,

I know this forum has discussed the NEW Proflex company in other threads...but I just checked out the site for updates and it looks like they've added new images of there upcoming full-carbon XC competition frame. Check it out at:

Not a bad looking piece of work...mate it with a carbon Crosslink? ;-)

Ok, after Poo-Pooing the new Proflex, I think they have a winner in the XC carbon frames. I like the active suspension design and carbon swingarm. I hope they get it right.

I too think a carbon crosslink would be cool. 8)

Hey all,

Just wanted to post a response I received from the folks at ProFlex...in general, they will have a US distributor in 2010 but price for the frame is unknown:

Dear Doug,

 

Thank you for your email. We will have a distributor in the USA for 2010, unfortunately I can’t tell you what price they will have in the USA . I would advise you to check again in mid 2009 and we might be able to give you more details about prices and distributor in the USA .

 

Thank you and best regards,

Asunto: Your new full-carbon XC competition frame

 

Hello,

 

I'm a vintage ProFlex enthusiast (2 856s and a K2 4000), and am plugged into the vintage ProFlex forums at http://www.idriders.com/proflex. I came across the ProFlex USA site a few weeks ago and stopped back today to check for updates...which is when I noticed the new images of the full-carbon XC competition frame there (the 899 frame). Will you have US distributors for this frame when it's available? Any idea of the cost?

 

Thanks in advance,

- Doug :-)
