If I hadn't allready too much bikes I'd buy it.
Sounds pretty good.

And as you allready know, I will help translating or something.

Matti - could you translate the info for the 857 please? And is the titanium spring for the rear shock (this is what I'm after)?

Cheers,

Ian

If you go to babelfish.altavista.com and copy the URL (http:// bit) into the space it asks you to and select from German to English it'll translate the page for you. Sometimes it has great comedic value but you can get the drift easily enough.

Aye did that but still wasn't 100% certain that the rear shock had a ti spring (it's that I want and would probably sell the frame on afterwards if I got it)

He offers a Proflex 857 frame in XL (size 54cm). The set consists of the easton aluminum frame with a carbon swingarm, a Girvin Elite fork, both with Noleen shocks with 75 mm travel on the front and rear. The steel coilsprings were replaced by titanium ones. The original (steel)springs can be given to the buyer. You'll get Magura HS22 Harlekin Brakes with carbon brake booster, a XTR seatpost, Ritchey A-headset, stem and bottlecage.
The frame has the usual condition for it's age; little scratches but no dents and it has no crashes. like seen on the pictures.  Shipping is 25,90 €.
No sending back or warranty as it is a private auction.

Well! That's what guy says.
And as he talks in plural it should have titanium springs on front and rear. That's what it's all about.

Hope I could light it up a little!
