hey guys,
are one of you oZ owners out there prepared to measure [and maybe take some close up pics] of the frame decals for me?
i am 'thinking' of making some for my 'soon to arrive' frame

a buddy is a sign writer and will be able to produce stickers indistinguishable from the originals...

Hammer

(i think) had reasoned it out..maybe he will chime in with it again.

I can explain this one.

The x59 series was always the top of the line Proflex, but the year they released the 4500 / 5500, which were the carbon models, they retired that numbering scheme.

Well, some of us were happier with the old Proflex brand, so we interpolated what it would have been called had they kept the Proflex brand and numbering, then one of the members was so kind as to take some high rez photos of the logos on his 859, he sent them to me, I redrew them in Corel, shipped the line art over to Mike, and he had a bunch of the stickers printed up. He resold them to members who wanted them at cost, so there are a fair number of them floating around.

I still have the original vector art, which you are welcome to have if you like - I can export to virtually any format you wish, or you can have the native Corel format. Just let me know if you are interested.

nice ride!

yep - the one on the down tube, top tube and seat tube r what i'm after. length x height would do.
hey - is that a ti spring u have on yr nr2?
if so, how do u find it? & where did u find it

Mr.Ed · « **Reply #8 on:** March 11, 2003, 01:04:14 pm »

ok, here is the picture...

Mr.Ed · « **Reply #9 on:** March 11, 2003, 01:06:23 pm »

hey !!!! the picture worked !!! how bout that !!!!

Mr.Ed · « **Reply #10 on:** March 11, 2003, 01:36:24 pm »

ok here are the approximate measurements...

downtube decal...1.550 in. high..9.6 in. wide

top tube...1.4 in. high..6.4 in. wide

seat tube...1.5 in. high..2.8 in. wide

" highs" are at the highest points and "widths" are at the widest points....

yes that is a ti spring, got it from Andy here on the forum. It matches the ti spokes. and the ti in my neck...hehe

I know a lot of people here on the forum dis bigtime on the noleen shocks. But I can say this... I dont race, I dont do any big drops ( only 4 feet once, but not on purpose, usually no more than 2 feet ).Just trail riding. And that nr-2 hasn't give me any problems yet. 2 years with a way too light spring, bottoming out alot, finally got a heavier spring ( ti ).

and its still going. I' m not saying I will never replace it, but it just aint broke yet.

I saw that one from ebay a week or so back (the link was here on the forum.), and it looked like it had an awful lot of coils for being a ti spring. hhhmmm....

speeking of ti spokes....I have been riding those cane creek wheels for almost 2 years now, crashed quite a bit, and I still don't own the spoke wrench for them !!! straight as an arrow.... and yes ..no disc brakes...a mortal sin !!! lucky if it rains twice a year here.. [smiley=laughing.gif]

I still have one set of Proflex 959 decals left here... one person ordered and never came up with the goods... e-hem... so they are here and I seem to recall the price being $25 USD at the time, however with the dollar getting weaker and me being in sweden... I'll have to raise that price to $30 including postage to New Zealand if you want them.

Although now you have the art files you'll probably just get your own made up...

So if anyone wants the last set of 959 Decals... drop me a line.

Regards,

Mike.

Edited as I had hte IFO virus on my spellcheckre !

Mr Ed - many thanks for those measurements!

and thanks for the offer on those 959 decals Hammer - but yeah, i'm gonna get my own made up here.
thanks anyway

SK,

Are you going to get the 959 or Oz decals made? If it's the Oz, I'd be interested in getting the artwork files from you, if possible, so that I could have my own made up here.

Thanks,

Forrest

Are those Pauls brakes or Billet? And how do you like them? Oh, is your handle in honor of Bamboo Harvester, the resgistered name of the original Mr. Ed?
