Hi lads new to the site picked up an old proflex attack le for €40 needing the rear suspension fixed.
after taking a small look at this site I wouldnt really class this as a profex.it must be the entry level model.i think its a 1996 bike how do I tell what year it is? I purchased the rear suspension bits in the state
so Id say it will take 2 week to get here in ireland.

Hi Andy and welcome to the group............you are aware there is no cure for this sickness and you'll almost certainly instantly become an addict don't you? <GRIN>

Ireland? Eire or NI ?? I don't think we've got anyone on here from either?

What's the import duties situation if you're in Eire?

Yes! Of course it's a "proper" PRO~FLEX ! We're not snobby on here, there's just various designs that crept down the model range as newer designs came out.

The Attack name was used to cover a few designs over the years, the pivot point is the decider.
If it's an "LE" then it is probably a '96 and then the pivot is directly behind the Bottom Bracket and it's using design technology similar to the the old Arcadia and Newport bikes.

Good luck and post some piccies if you need any help!

I don't know what this sickness thing is you guys are talking about. I only have 4 so far.

Welcome to the group Andy.

............when the bike is finished what type of money is it worth? ..............

Well, I don't think any of us are going to become rich over our bikes.............<GRIN> but starting with a £40 frame and assuming at least some of the components are OK, I'd imagine you'd have a good roadworthy bike for less than a couple of hundred quid, so that beats most "bargain bikes" shops offerings and you'd be riding a quality made bike, but wether it would ever sell for that.........dunno.
