New Rider Wants an 857 (or so)

[will]

Guys,

My neighbor's kid (19 yrs) is starting to ride hard and his WalMart bike(s) are wearing him down: Taco'ed wheels, no brakes, 50# of deadweight, etc.

Thinking about selling him one of my 856's... but you know how it is.

Anybody in NorAm want to sell a coil sprung Proflex? Actually, he may even be better off on a Beast or Animal. Even though he's only 165#, he seems to be the big drop type...

Regards,
Will

Hi Will,  will your rider be interested in the 5000?  it's perfect for slight heavier riders.

Oh yeah... I really liked those bikes. Wanted to buy one myself but the wife woulda killed me.

Are they still for sale? Thie links are dead.

This would be a good build for the kid.

your in the UK soon as well so arrangments could be made for me or anyone over here to pick it up on your behalf,think you could get it cheaper with some negotiating.
