i dont have a k2/proflex any more, i had to sell my oz frame to callum (rds) as i needed funds after my bank account was pilfered, now this is all i have apart from the roadie, im looking for a 957 frame or an 857 or even an xpx (i should never have sold mine) guess i feel like a bit of an intruder on here now but ill keep up to date with whats happening on the k2/proflex front and add my words of wisdom

when i can. anyway heres my current ride.

it actually rides as good as it looks

Hi Jeff, nice to hear from you mate, good luck on the XPX front too, if you can find 2 of them Mrs Tel would stop chewing my ear if I could get her 1 of them in medium flavour. She still has`nt bonded with her 857 after 2 1/2 years of riding it every week.
Cheers Tel.

This looks and sounds like the bike Nora Rosche rode in the thread I started a while ago. Hers would have been a smaller size but looks exactly right. Even down to the NR1 with TI spring. Wonder how many of these were made?

can't think of the racer's name at the moment, but the guy i bought this from was a mechaninc for the racers and said this was one of 19 built for this one particular racer. (Beat Wabel )..that's who it is. my height and about 60 #'s lighhter

The 862 rebuilt with a very happy customer

Hey there bigdee!!

what do you think of the elastomers on the 862?? hard,soft,or about right?

bigdee · « **Reply #42 on:** November 15, 2008, 05:10:50 am »

Probably a bit on the hard side but will need wearing in, i managed about 25mm of travel with 18 stone jumping on it, but the lad was over the moon with it, originally it was for his missus but he's using it and she's using his rocky mountain the nutter!

Ok so it all started the 1st of november 2006 the very day I found the forum and joined. Its been two years of sourcing the best parts from allover the world ebay head aches and frustrations and I finally think I can rest knowing that my bike is complete the final pieces fitted on the 10th november 2008 so 2 years and 9 days later its done, the only question I have is do I ever ride it the way it should be ridden or do I just stand back in awe of the bike before me.

Well I have previously posted an image before but hopfully tommorow I'll have the completed bike images posted
