hi does anyone know of any reasonablly priced child seat/carrier or child trailers that will fit a proflex beast (assume being a full suspension bike not all will fit as the rear triangle isnt rigid)

Any which clamp just to the seatpost should do the trick. I have one for my 96 beast and it just fits onto the seat post. It's a bit bouncy over bumps but perfectly safe! I also have a trailerbike that clamps onto the seatpost.

I've got a trailer (a cheap knock-off of the Burley) that I modified to clamp to the carbon swingarm of my 5000. Works pretty well (although it works better with my wife's 5000 ever since I installed disc brakes on mine - not much clearance back there). I just used a wheel strap from a Yakima rack and got creative with a Dremel and zip ties. However, I think in the future at some point, I'll splurge for a Burley alternative hitch, which replaces your rear skewer with one that you can quickly attach the trailer to.
