750 ??? Here's an odd one.............
« on: June 16, 2014, 03:38:49 am »
Have a look at this bike for sale on eBay located in Milano Italy.................

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ProFlex-Full-suspension-Retro-Vintage-XT-Deore-Mountain-Bike-MTB-/121363662555?ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:3160



First of all I dismissed as "that's not a PRO~FLEX!"

But a closer look makes me think it is a heavily modified 750 !!

That's one solution for the difficult to replace rear suspension on these older models!

That's a strange one! It looks similar to the old Manatou Marin full sus bike. Such a lot of work but why then put Specialized on it.

That's actually a cool idea.  And embarrassingly obvious to boot, but I can't say it would have occurred to me right away!!
Nothing is foolproof for a sufficiently talented fool.
