Title: Just another newbie:)
Post by: lumpydog on February 27, 2012, 01:25:41 pm

Hi everyone,
 New to the site- was directed here through various searches. Found my first ProFlex late last week, am a sucker for a nice vintage ride. Been riding an early '90s Gary Fisher for a couple of years and saw this at a local resale shop for a steal! This bike is awesome!! Beautiful 857 with some changes. Previous owner added XTR rear derailleur, cassette and hubs to an already awesome beast!! Can't wait for weather to break just a bit more to go try this out:) Thanks for having and maintaining this site- want to keep this bike for a while and it's great to have some connections to things like maintenance and replacement part info since parts aren't readily available for these bikes anymore. Have a great day!!
