Proflex at the races
« on: June 30, 2010, 02:18:58 pm »
Hi chaps, I`m still being mugged by Mrs Tel this weekend she entered the vets race at Bedgebury and won the ladies section beat afew of the men too, on my bloody bike. Still looks better than me on it which is why I`m still sulking. My son Robin also took a win again this time in the under 12`s.

 I have to say I`m the proudest husband and dad about this week, thanks to everyone here who has helped keep my bike on the trails over the years, and one day I will get my boy on a proflex to win another race.
Cheers, Tel.

I hope she didn't use it as an excuse not to have your tea ready on time!

Seriously though, well done to them both.

Is that an XP-X with the vectors changed for carbon ones?

Yep, that looks like an XP-X to me, with Carbon Crosslinks rather than the original Blue Vector II's.

Sorry chaps yes your right it is an XPX with a carbon crosslink instead of the blue vectors it came with, as I managed to break the upper linkage when a bolt sheared of on a drop off last year. By the way Dav she can put up shelves so I`m off to cook tea or she`ll sling me out.
 Cheers, Tel.

Mrs Tel...........entered the vets race

Was it the Bike or Mrs Tel that qualified as a Vet?  <GRIN>

Get her doing the maintenance on the bike as well and you can put your feet up and have a cuppa!
