Sounds great Doug. Rode Oz-lite this morning. The smoother swingarm will really round it out.

Hi All,
Winter '15/16 projects for 'er indoors............

~~a) Rebuild the Mrs's OzX onto a Small "two tube" frame, as the Medium OzX is just a tad too big for her!~~
~~b) Build her a Small x57 type bike as a 700c road bike akin to my XP-X Road Warrior.~~

So, I am in need of those two small frames please!
Looking for excellent condition frames, Carbon swing arm versions preferred.

Cash buy in the UK.
OR:
I can swap a Medium or Large x57 frame for a Small frame.
~~I can also potentially swap a Medium 5500 frame (not the OzX) for a small "two tube" frame.~~

so, examples of what I'm after.........
~~a) 4000, 5000, Disco Monkey, 900, 1000, 4000RS,~~
b) 757, 857, 957, 956le, 3000, Animal, 2000

Let me know.......

Cheers,
Col.

December 2015 - Update - Small 4000 sourced, so no need for that now!
December 2016 - Update - Bought her a "real" road bike - Specialized Dolce Sport Equipped

Does anyone have a source for the saddle washers on the front shock for the Girvin fork?

Are you talking about the plastic seals? If so they're still available on eBay:

If not, let us know or post a pic and I'm sure someone will know.

Do you need the thick or thin ones? Fork ones are thinner than the rear shock ones. I have some of both.

Willie, I am in need of the thin front ones.
Thanks, Todd

I've always fancied buying a 5000 and fitting the '57 rear end to build a 1997 team bike replica. I bet there arnt many new frames like this around. What's the size? A 58cm top tube would make it a medium..?

Chris

Spokes · « **Reply #1526 on:** November 04, 2015, 01:59:35 am »

The chart says for 4000/5000 - 58.8 top tube is large so guess this is a large.

Hello,

I'm selling my beloved Proflex. $390 with extras.

Photos here: http://denver.craigslist.org/bik/5306965191.html

This is a 1999 K2 Bike. I'm the only owner. Parts have been upgraded and the aluminum/ carbon fiber frame remains in great shape! This bike had top of the line technology in it's day. It continues to ride very well and does not have a problem hanging with newer bikes.

Highlights:
-Carbon fiber swingarm
-K2 Smart Shock- electronically regulated dampening
-Noleen air fork
-Spinenergy Spox carbon fiber rear wheel
-XTR/ Bontrager front wheel
-3 speed XT front derailleur
-8 speed SRAM X9 rear derailleur
-Answer riser bar
-WTB saddle
-Size large, but standover height can fit smaller

Comes with extra:
-WTB front wheel with Continental slick commuter tire
-XT rear wheel with Continental slick commuter tire
-2 studded snow tires

Come on by for a test ride! Text or call
