An 856 with custom rear sus mod!

[GinSonic]

Did you guys see this?



Perhaps it's old information and a few of you are aware of this already, but I figured I'd post it anyways.
I copied the post from another forum with the particulars of it;

".......10 year old frame off ebay Proflex 856(approx $100) forks new ebay $99
fox float shock s/hand about $80
custom made suspension system (cost minimal own work)
all told about $1000 with all components etc
25Lbs all in weight.
Front travel 100mm rear travel 108mm or 158mm depending on the custom strut I use....."

I think it's pretty brilliant. Been done before on other brands of bikes I realize, but pretty cool on an old school 85* series Proflex don't you think?

That's OK. Sometimes my graphics lock up. I can see it at home.
But I had an idea it was Simon's. That is one sweet bike that should be mounted over a fireplace mantle.:-)
