Pictures of every Proflex model: post them here!
« on: November 26, 2008, 12:55:29 am »
A thought occurred to me. Often we get requests for images of certain models to see what spec they had, or how you have them now. A bit like reader's bikes. I wondered if we could gather as many images of any Proflex as possible in one thread showing all the different permutations possible. It doesn't have to be your bike. I for one would find it inspiring and others will hopefully find it a useful source of images that might help solve technical problems. Images don't have to be of complete bikes, but perhaps adaptations to certain parts of a frame e.g. disk mounts.

I for one have loads of pics on my hard drive. I'll start posting them tonight when I get back from work. Let's see if this takes off. If it doesn't, well, obviously there was no demand for it! ;)

When posting please identify the frame or part of frame and year of manufacture as best you can.

What I suppose we could do then once we have a critical mass of images is start to put them in the gallery categorised by model for quick reference.

Hmmmmm, not so sure this thread is a good idea, isn't that what we've got a Gallery for?
Same comment goes for the Reader's Wives (sorry, Bikes) thread..............

But then again I guess it does no harm.................

I guess if we had a Gallery where we could all post to with seperate folders for each model that would be useful?

You're sure to get someone posting a misidentified bike, so that will need to be managed............

Fair point. OK, will create some categories in the gallery and you can post there or here ;)

Yeah I've posted mine a couple times in this forum...mine is all factory stock I think (shimano XT), I want to try to keep it that way if I can, cept for the seat, the OM seat is garbage - the only "bad" part on the bike, I might have it to far back though making it more uncomfortable on longer rides, I'll slide it forward a half inch to an inch and see if it feels any better, if not then its gonna have to go.
