Hey!

I think a bunch of us are still connected to the forum...but I also see a lot of the same names on the K2/Proflex rider group on Facebook.

My recommendation would be to look in the Files section of this forum for any drawings you can take to a machinist. The Noleen shock is still available, as are Risse air shocks, for the rear of the 857. Folks have also experimented with a shock eyelet adaptor that, because it rotates the lower eyelet of a standard shock 90 degrees, had linear rigidity to it. I bet you'll find some photos of it in the Media section.

My recommendation would be to go with the Noleen or Risse.

It's on a public group on FB, everybody should be able to access the following link:

This guy is selling an anodized frame claiming the 'Elite' markings are 'under' the anodizing. WOuld not answer with the model of the bike because he probably doesn't know or doesn't want to. Supposedly belonged to a Proflex engineer...this is kind of local to me, I have no interest in the frame because too expensive for the parts and I don't like shady sellers and it's not a large...but some parts could be of interest.
