What size frame are you looking for? I have several extra 856 frames, 2 of them in Way Big (which to me only seems to have a bigger seat tube compared to the Large). Let me know...one is red, one is silver. I have forks, too, if you need one. You'll make my wife's day if you buy one :-) What did the Attack frame go for?

Hi Tracy,

Please send me a PM with your email address...you'll get more benefit from the photos if I don't have to resize them. Also, let me know if you'd be looking for a fork, too, or just planning to use the one from your Attack.

Thanks!

Anyone have a spare 857/957 rear strut?
« Reply #753 on: February 22, 2010, 07:09:40 am »
Helo all,

I'm looking for a spare rear strut for an 857 or 957 (or the K2 1000/2000 bikes), preferably in the states. Please PM me if you have one you wouldn't mind letting go. The nicer the better, but as long as it's structurally sound I'll consider it.

Thanks in advance!

Hello all,
Just a reminder, I have 2 Way Big 856 frames for sale. Ideally you'd be interested only in the main triangle, so I can keep my other parts, but I can supply complete frames if needed. One is red and the other silver. The red one is the better of the two, with much nicer paint and very few blemishes other than the usual cable rub near the braze-on cable stops. The silver one may have a small dent, and because of the matte paint just doesn't look as striking. Both are 20" "World Cup Design" frames, crack-free, with the taller seattube.

$40 for only the main triangle, $60 for main triangle and rear swingarm, $70 for main triangle, rear swingarm and strut with ODS unit. For $80 I'll throw in a COR rear spring with top and bottom plates. For $100 I'll include a Vector II fork, and $130 gets you a complete frame with COR springs front and rear, both ODS units, a decent headset and whatever else I have to throw on. Shipping extra, but I can disassemble for the smallest package possible. Have to recoup some funds for a pending car purchase. :-/

Thanks in advance!

Guys, I just drug out my old Proflex 756. It's been in storage for 6 years but is in good shape. I'm interested in selling the entire bike (frame size is 20"). I put some air in the tires today and road it for about 10 minutes. Everything seems to work just fine. It could obviously use a good bath and some lube, but there is nothing wrong with her as far as I can tell. The only mods I made to this bike are coil over front and back to replace the elastomers and clipless petals. I'm far from an expert on this bike (especially compared to you guys!) but I would be happy to send pics if you're interested. Make me an offer and help me find the old girl a new home. It's probably best to contact me at becarter(at)gmail.com

The bike is exactly like this one except I went with red springs in stead of yellow - just wanted to be different  ;)

tech manuals binder 1996 to 1999 on UK, USA and Canadian ebay:  http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200444740222

Also includes history of proflex and k2 bike - a must have for the k2 bike/proflex nerd (like me).  Especially if you need to know the difference between an Arcadia and a Newport, or a 657 and an 856.  Also has full cutaway for Oz X, Oz M and all of the 1998/99 k2 frames.

I got this when visiting K2 in 1998 and I added the 1999 info later on.

Nice looking bike at a great price.  I hope someone from here picked it up.  If not, then please point the winning bidder in our direction if they have questions.  We're always happy to welcome new owners to the Proflex family...

For USA only ,tut, a medium 857 frame with Risse Terminator, a Hammerhead and a spare carbon swing arm .Would be worth getting for the Risse and Hammerhead alone and the spare swinger, spare parts,bushes ....etc....bargain.

That shock is what I was looking at too, as it has the cone end maybe. Since I have a good inventory of carbon swinarms, it is all yours.

So go for it,

I don't think it has the cone end because of the little silver plate under the shock - that looks like the Risse Freedom Plate, like I have with the Astro5 on the 956. I was thinking the frame might be a nice match for that extra carbon fork you sold me, but to be honest I shouldn't be buying anything right now given that my wife need a new car. You go for it, and I'll just buy the stuff from you later ;-)
