No reply from Grimjack, as yet. But no need really.

After some clarification, Reg has a whole load of goodies to sell potentially - 1995-1998 parts and consumables. UK based. Reg - list what you have and the prices you want, with some pics if you can ;) I'm sure you'll offload a lot of it quite quickly.

What he said.
Title: Re: attn grimjack
Post by: orange on August 25, 2009, 02:38:58 pm
Yes, he has PM'd me his email address. I checked he was ok publishing it. Here are his words:

my email is ukreg {at} aol {dot} com. i don't mind giving it out it handles most bike world stuff..

I added the {} so he is less likely to get spammed.

I have recommended he puts up a list with prices. He doesn't actually live that far from me (about 25 miles) - so depending on prices etc I might snap up a load of the stuff for onward selling - but you guys have a go first.

I also modified the title of the post to reflect better what's going on. May move to the proper for sale section in due course but let's see what happens here first.

OK after further correspondence it appears Reg has a veritable treasure trove. I have suggested he list and price up everything here. I have said that there will be a lot of interest from you guys... at the right price, of course ;) I will probably be buying.
Title: Re: Proflex parts for sale 1995-1998
Post by: sammydog on August 26, 2009, 03:01:17 am
I will be buying some stuff as well, already been in email contact with him.

I'll start another thread, but I have this project running http://www.twentysixinches.com/2009/reviving-classic-proflex-855-955 (http://www.twentysixinches.com/2009/reviving-classic-proflex-855-955). The plan was to build a period bike and a modern interpretation, but if I can get the parts I would prefer two period bikes so I can take them racing again.

Hopefully reg can help and hopefully I don't miss out.

I'd love to find some extra carbon legs for Vectors and/or complete Pro-Carbon forks (956 or 957 style). I emailed Reg, but wanted to post it here as well in case there's a package-buy-and-resell.

Thanks!

I'm happy to buy the entire lot -- or -- will be happy to act as middleman for USA etc riders.  I'm not fussed, it would be a shame for it all to be thrown out.

reg been in touch - he tells me that as he gets further back in the garage - the stuff gets older.  It's like an archeological dig !!

I could really do with a few spare ally top hats (the pivots) and the plastic concave washers that go eiter side of the dampers (front and rear) - for an 856  :)

How do I go on getting some, if available ?

No not them, my bad descriptions again  ;D

They sit either side of the gold ods units at the top mountings to keep them central and stop them rubbing on the frame  :)
