Proflex RF1 Pics wanted
« on: January 08, 2007, 11:12:45 pm »
Hi guys ,

Looking for some old pictures of the 1991 RF1 team bikes,
I remember they were silver and red with a titanium flexstem
but I really need some closeups for my retro team rebuild.

The donor frame is as close as I am gonna get to a team frame -
the proflex 750 I picked up for £32 a while back



I have 2 pictures but am looking for main frame or full bike piccis now.





I am sticking a near NOS suntour XC comp/pro grouppo
on the build (cos its kicking around) instead of the XT &
girvin cranks (having settled for the fact that I aint gonna ever find some cranks )

I also (Think) I remember reading some of the team bikes
got stolen that year, Is that right ?

Any help appreciated
Old ones are always the best ones.

Think you'll find the
Girvin cranks are just rebranded
Sugino item's
you may have more luck looking out for these.

The cranks I was after are the ones in the B&W picture above, they are
a bit like the tioga revolvers, I have seen the sugino ones before
but I fancied something a bit blinger.
