I now own four Pro-Flexes.

On a lighter note...pics of the rides!  

This one's been with me since 1998, and as you can see I've replaced a few parts since then.  





A closeup of the disc brake tab shovelon recently added:



And here's the new ride I bought a couple of weeks ago. This one's still a work in progress.



Eventually, the parts will get moved to this frame (except the fork):

I know it been said before but when you put modern parts on a old Proflex they look like they hardly aged at all. That looks really nice and I love the grape colour.
Good luck with the 857's.

The interesting thing about the 857 is it feels like it accelerates faster. I can't tell if that's because it's actually lighter (it probably is, slightly) or if it's because the gear ratios are different (I think the big chainring is a little smaller on the 857), but it has noticeably more pickup.

The World Cup frames have a higher pivot and react stronger to pedal influence. Hence patented "Dig in technology". Maybe you have big legs.

I can leg-press 350lbs. at a 60 degree angle, so it's possible.

Also, I think it's time for some random Pro-Flex-related silliness.

What to do with a disembodied Vector fork? Wait, I know! Let's pretend it's a gun!







This is why I should not be left alone for long periods of time, especially when I'm in a good mood.
