Any old brochures or articles?
« on: August 30, 2006, 09:00:55 am »
Hello all

Currently searching the net in a vein hope that I will find any Pro Flex related articles.

Had a look in my loft the other day and managed to find a 1990 Cannondale brochure amongst all my magazines of that era. Had one odd '96 MBUK mag with lots of Pro Flex ads, but thats it!

Can anyone email scans of brochures, or may be part with any items?  Okay, I know the last bit is a silly question!

Go to the 'files' section in this forum and pick out the item called: 'MBA Proflex Beast Review'. It's an old review from a magazine. There may be more in the files section.

I should have some old bike magazin articles relating proflexes.
Unfortunately for you they are in German.
So you would have to use a online translator.

I could copy them and send them to you.

Thanks guys/gals

Matti, if you have any different articles I would like them sent. Obviously if they are the same as Ameys and Slims don't worry.

Cheers

Well!

I have nearly all german "bike" magacines from 1989 to now (I think seven examples are missing in this monthly magacine).
And as I can remember there have been various articles, tests and stuff relating proflexes.
BUT IT'S ALL IN GERMAN.

If you want to have it, I can go through my old magacines and scan it.
You would have to give me your email adress and I will send it to you.

Or can I up it here in the files section?
If so, how?

Just spent 15 hours going through my old bike mags.

Found about 100 articles, photos and stuff relating proflex.

Will take a bit to scan it, but I am willing to do that.

I think it will be a very biiiiiig pdf.
Simon, is it possible to post it in the files section if it is maybe 20 or 30 MB?

so.

I'm still scanning my old articles.
got a lack of time but it is in progress.

But what I have to know.

How can I post those 20 or 40 MB of jpegs of the old offroads, proflexes, freflexes and K2s?

Can't up it in the gallery or how to or files section.

Question to the mods:

Is it possible to let me upload those pics?

I've allready bought one of those banners on ebay for 5 euros.

but I still got the prob that I can't upload many many old proflex pics, which I'd like to upload on this form.
I think it should be interresting, even if the text is in german.
