Title: 5996 brake adapter
Post by: scottminor on April 29, 2013, 10:21:30 am

Does anyone have one or have a spec sheet so I can get one milled?

Is this one of the HammerHead disc brake adaptors? If so, I think they're available for sale again.

No this is the original Proflex/K2 adapter the Hammerhead copies. If you do a search, someone bought one last year and made a few copies. The drawings or photos should still be on here.
Or just buy a Hammerhead off ebay, as it does exactly the same thing.

Yep, here's a link to the thread I was thinking of. http://idriders.com/proflex/smf/index.php?topic=3929.0 (http://idriders.com/proflex/smf/index.php?topic=3929.0)

I bought one for an 857 when I found out they were available again. It is very well-made.

For a little more I can get a newer frame.  I think that maybe my path from here.  Now to sell my 99 3000 frame.  The sad part is, since I bought it new, its been ridden maybe 10 times.

I guess if the frame you have now is nothing special to you, there's not much point in upgrading it. Hopefully you'll be able to find an appreciative buyer.

What are people paying for mint 3000 frames?

Frames are a tough sell. They end up costing more to build back up than getting a one already done. Back in Feb. I paid $370 for a very mint OzM frame with headset, bottom bracket and rear shock along with all the original paperwork.

Good luck on the sale from a fellow local (Lilburn).

I've never paid more than £30 for a bare aluminium frame. It just depends if someone wants it enough to pay any more for it.
