Have a look at this bike for sale on eBay located in Milano Italy.................

First of all I dismissed as "that's not a PRO~FLEX!"

But a closer look makes me think it is a heavily modified 750 !!

That's one solution for the difficult to replace rear suspension on these older models!

That's a strange one! It looks similar to the old Manatou Marin full sus bike. Such a lot of work but why then put Specialized on it.

That's actually a cool idea.  And embarrassingly obvious to boot, but I can't say it would have occurred to me right away!!
