OP, thank you for posting the parts on the site. Always a shame to hear about the parts/bikes that got away but this keeps us going. Still waiting on the shipping info from my buddy.

Many thanks and take care OP. Stop in from time to time and give us you words of wisdom. It's always good to hear stories of old.

Cheers
Chris

On first read, I thought OP was crazy for giving his stash away. Well, sure anyone heavily into an old orphan bike brand is at least a little crazy. On further reflection it makes a lot of sense. Selling it off piecemeal would be a major pain and would take a lot of time and the recompense wouldn't be that great. For myself, the "Best By" date is long past and I would not expect any of my children to suddenly develop an interest in bicycling. My son might want a bike but not all that likely, plus he couldn't maintain it. My mechanical genes weren't passed on. I'll leave a directive to my heirs that all my bike stuff can go to members of this forum, whether by best offers or outright gifting. That way the parts and bikes won't end up trashed and unused and the family can do without a long drawn out disbursement of items they don't know about.

Fortunately I don't have a carbon fiber OZ so there is little danger that one of you will put out a hit on me to get it on the market.

I'm looking to get a rear shock set up. Would the person who ended up with the shocks that Old Proflexer gave away be interested in parting with one? Email me or message me here.
Thanks Tracy

W2zero got the stash. What shock are you looking for? Is it s replacement you need or do you need parts for your existing shock? I have a few spares.

I'd like to come on a whole unit mine is pretty hammered. I retro fit the springs for this bike myself 12 years ago and the strut was on the way out then. Anything would be better that what I have now.

wow...it's been a while, and it is sad to see an ol' timer giving up his proflex gear.... I'm still in the hunt to replace the rear shock or rebuild the one for my 756, and needing another hammerhead adapter for my 5000...sadly, always searching the classies for both projects and it has been daunting to say the least

Contact Mike Hammer for a new Hammerhead from him (search on this forum), I've recently got two 97HH2K's from him for my x57's and I'm pretty sure he's still doing the CAHH2K for the K2 Proflex Oz, OzM, 4500c, 5500c Carbon frames.

And I'm sure ODS and indeed cone ended Noleens's come up on eBay USA quite often.

Good Luck

kewl thx Colin....yea I have k2 proflex girvin noleen and risse saved searches up in ebay and get many hits, but very seldom the rear shock I'm hoping to find for that 756....hopefully one of these days......I also noticed that I'm missing the cable ferrule insert(?) where my rear deraileur cable enters at the curve in the swingarm on my 5000, at least the rear one at the wheel hanger is still there lol.....any suggestions for replacing that? I only noticed it missing when FINALLY cabling up my Oz (4500) frame and noticed it was there on that swingarm but missing for my other...

Colin · « **Reply #28 on:** May 26, 2014, 09:55:26 am »

hmmm, the cable ferrule is flush on the front end of the swing arm, but if you've got the Oz to compare to then I guess you're sure it's missing, that's not too good because I'm pretty sure that the thro' cable routing is part of that assembly, sorry, never had to overcome this problem!
