i cant remember when the world cup rac was held in wellington but i would swear that these were the bikes that Proflex had....a coupla years before i saw Henrick Dejernis at Cairns,Australia .Thats my size....You can see though that they have made the triangle as small as they thought feasible with a BIG seatmast...doyou bid by emailing the guy??

Hi Kiwi,

This bike is in Santa Cruz, CA. I believe. You email a bid or response to him through the reply note.

If you can persuade the guy to sell it to you, I can help with the transfer if needed.

Hello Kiwi,
The other guy is myself, Bruce in Toronto.
I would really love to add this one to my stable . I have an 856 that I've spent more money on in the last six months because of this site. You guys are a great bit of inspiration.
I'm in the process of finalizing the purchase. I'll let you now if I goes well. Then I'll post pics of it in the snowy north.
Bruce.

Good on Ya bruce...the shipping would probably be too much for me,though would love to have it.

Carbonman1 · « **Reply #12 on:** January 22, 2006, 12:01:22 pm »

I am stoked that the right people got a crack at that bike. Bravo. Please post some detail pics for all of us to drool over. I would have gone for it but, those XL frames are HUGE.

kiwi · « **Reply #13 on:** January 22, 2006, 02:46:36 pm »

they arent that big...for example a 20 in 756 has a top tube only 1/2 in longer than the 18 in,also had a 1/2 longer stem.....and when you are 6'3" you need a bit more space
And thanks for pointing it out,i would never had seen it otherwise.If Bruce doesnt get it I will have a crack.

Carbonman1 · « **Reply #14 on:** January 23, 2006, 08:07:28 am »

I am 5'9". I had a large framed 855 that was fine with a short stem. It kinda felt like I was riding motorcycle. Was the XL size the same as the 'way big' K2 size?
