I've got Suspension Times 1,2 and 3 as pdf's but I'm afraid no where to host them. I can email them to people,no problem, but they are quite big about 4mb each.

I have also got the following from various places over the years if anyone is interested :
97_spc-crosslink.pdf
98crosslink_manual.pdf
98k2bike_manual.pdf
99_bike_om_eng.pdf
99_cross_link_om_eng.pdf
99carbonframeassembly.pdf
99springratechart.pdf

I have also got some other stuff I can scan if people do not already have them and are interested :
XP limited edition leaflet 97 I think
Catalogs for 95,96,97 and 98
Noleen rear shock leaflet circ 96/97 I think
Girvin fork catalog 96/97 I think
Noleen Racing 1998 fork and shock catalog
The original Mountain Bike Action test of the 5500

Also would be interested in more!

Alistair...I'll PM you my email.

I have an original Vector 2 owners manual.  This is the one with dual MCUs.  I tried to make a pdf but I don't have good enough software...the pictures are too small and gray to be seen.  I have made jpgs of each page which can be seen if anyone is interested.  

The following is link which for some reason isn't directly available from k2bike.com that has some good stuff in it.

Aren't these the pre-Proflex bikes:

I remeber seeing some Offroad and Pro-flex stickers together in the same frame.
And hey, they have the flexstem...

Offroad made the original proflex. My 550 is an Offroad Proflex bicycle. The manual for it is a standard Offroad manual. When I got it there was a 450 that was a hardtail with a flexstem in the catalogue. This looks like the year before. In the text it says it's from 1989.

cheers

The Bikeman link shows the Mountain Master I bought back in the 80's. It was a terrific climber with short chainstays tucking the rear wheel close to the seat.  It made for an unstable ride at speed though I did not mind as I was in my 20's then and still immortal!!
