Hi Dean.  You have to have the pic online somewhere for it to show up.  You could put it in your gallery.

I think the owner of that bike emailed that pic to me.   It is either a 955 or a refinished 855.  Looks like an 18".

Here is a pic of my 955.

Hope this helps,

sigh... that totally silvercollered proflex you own tmaybee, is probably the most beautiful bike ever made. I used to own one like that untill the x-link broke into several pieces during a ride. Gave the frame away to my brother in law an bought a 5500C. I still regret it (giving the old one away that is, I don't regret the buying of the 5500C)!

It could be a 855 or 756.The strut will tell the story.Get trevor to post pics of his 855 and 856 struts or i think he may even have pics in his gallery.The strut bridges are different

I don't think hte strut type would be the definitive test on whether a bike is an x55 or x56. Both my 955 and 855 came new with the x56 style strut.
