Excellent!

Did you lose oil from the shock?

Came across a deal on a maverick frame that I couldn't pass up, so now this frame is for sale if anyone is interested.

only bike i've ever sold that i regretted selling was my 856 - best of the bunch.

Dude, someone put a Powerbar sticker on your frame while you weren't looking. You need to get that off there before it leaves sticky stuff on the new paint.

Also, you should get Hope cable guides like I did for my rear disc:

  I welded a tab on the rear for discs, and they seem to be working well.

let's see a close up of that welded disk mount please?

Very close to doing that myself, but fortunately I have one of the last Hammerheads, that I will probably use instead as I don't want to mess up the Blue paint work on my XP-X Swingarm.

Where did you get the disk mount to weld on or did yopu make it?

I'll get a picture of it as soon as I get the frame back.  I used an IS to post adapter and cut off the post part to make my bracket.  I found a frame builders guide that had the dimensions for where the tab needed to be and made a little jig to hold it there for welding.  It's almost like proflex was going to put a disc tab on there because the flat surface worked so well.

Well here's the new bike.  It actually pedals even better than the proflex, so I'm pretty happy.

Lots of bikes ride better than Pro-Flexes nowadays, it's just the nature of technology. Pro-Flexes were ahead of their time, and thus, still fairly competitive in most situations. Nice choice getting the Maverick, but make sure you get a spare shock while you still can. They'll only get more expensive if the company ever goes under.
