Here's something I've not seen before...a 857 'Test-Ride'?  Don't know if it's legit, or the bike just has some silly sticker on it, but it does look to be in pretty nice shape from the pix...

"Test Ride" is legit- but not that rare- my 857 is one, and I've seen probably about half a dozen others. Dinnae like them decals anyway!!
Still, looks like good condition and spec, if ye are considering bidding for it.

That and 'factory test'. my 855 has 'shimano' in big white lettering on the top tube near the seat post - again unusual but not unknown.

Anybody want a Risse shock?
I've got one of the multi-adjustable (full open through locked out) air shocks that is in like new condition. It came off an x57 frame, I don't know if it fits any others.

Looking for 100.00, 5 bucks to ship it, paypal only. Best way to reach me is at;

scottmartin49@hotmail.com

Thanks!

(edit) Wow; ok guys, I was not expecting this kind of responce and really want to be fair to everyone.

1. Answers to questions;

Yes, it is an Astro5. Yes, I will ship to overseas, Canada, Alaska and Hawaii et cetera. I have never used the shock; it was purchased for a build that didn't happen. It holds air and doesn't leak in its current off-bike position. It looks "like new" but was purchased used; from speaking with the seller I would have to say that it was used very, very little.

2. Apologies for the delay in responding, I was away from the computer for the weekend 

3. Thank you for the "bonus" offers some of you sent but I've really got to be fair to all...

4. So here's the deal;
      Shipping is 5$ American anywhere in the continental U.S. via U.S. Postal Service, anywhere else you'll have to figure it yourself and include any insurance, 2-day air, or other premiums and pay the full amount along with the sales price ( U.S. Postal Service ONLY). Shock is shipping from northern New York state- zip/postal code 13309- and the total package weight will be under 24oz. Payment by paypal ONLY; in U.S. funds.

Best offer in my inbox by 5pm EST on Thursday takes it, and I want to add that it's really heartening to see all the riders who still see the 'ol Proflex as worthy of the upgrade. I've got some other Girvin/Proflex kit to spare and will be posting them in the near future.

Does anyone know if this will work on an 855?

I don't know the answer, but I will see if my mate with an 857 is home. I can try fitting a noleen NR4 to an 855. Should be the same thing.

I'll get back to you.

I fitted an NR4 to my 855 (it's still on there) so would have thought yes it would be OK

Looking for carbon swinger please in any country.
Would that be Evo or x57?

Hi Dom.

This would be for your home made OZ?. You were talking about selling the swinger last year when I bought the rear shock from you. So any 4500 style swinger will fit.

For Sale: Proflex 856 - Make Offer
« Reply #745 on: February 05, 2010, 01:35:13 pm »
1996, 16” (40.6cm) medium (good if your around 5’8”), XT derailers, XTR brakes, Mavic 220 UB control wheelset with Deore LX hubs, ODS (silver oil damping shocks), original Sugino cranks 175mm.  Mounted a pair of cheap Geax easy rider tires to ride 17 mile loop in Carmel.  I took this in trade when a customer could not pay his bill.  I tried to ride it but at 6’2”/215lbs it is way too small.  It had never been ridden when I received it in 2006.  I attempted to ride it for 3 months/ 2-3x per week.  Girlfriend rode it 3 times.  It has been collecting dust for 4 years.  I will throw in extra set of used maxxis ignitors, seat bag and bottle cage.  I am located in Upland, CA.  I don't know what it is worth so make an offer.

the attack frame on ebay would have been a great deal, But I'm on a budget and the price after a few bids plus shipping was a little more than I could do. is there any one here who has the ebay name p***l ? that might have a frame for sale in a few days? lol
