Post by: Capricorn on March 27, 2009, 03:44:57 am

Probably a stupid question from a newbie but: Where can I find the Proflex 857 geometry?

Thanks Kiwi,
However, when measuring my Medium Proflex 857 BBH measures 335 mm in stead of 302 mm as listed in the '98 K2 2000 Medium chart. That's quite a difference! I wonder if the K2 chart is completely accurate.

I think your 857 is FAULTY, please return it to me for a thorough warranty investigation.

(Please note that this may take some time and the bike may come back muddier than when you sent it)

Yes,when you look closely at the charts there sre discrepamcies between model years of bikes that AFAIK are actually the same.
