MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Anyone know what this is? I'm not after buying it but it looks interesting! I don't recognise any of the brand names and the logos have been sanded off the frame.

Looks like a proflex, with Girvin fork. Circa mid to late 90s
Definitely a proflex, maybe a Beast.
As above , proflex , I had a girvin fork on my stumpjumper, until it got nicked ! 🙁 .... great fork
I was gonna say proflex too, although mine had a flexstem, rather than those beasts.
Wasn’t that the one that was in ‘Dirt’?
Yup, Proflex with Girvin forks. I'd say late 90s, as it's got Noleen coil shocks on, rather than elastomer "springs"
756 mebbe?

That's nicked, that's what that is.
I remember wanting one of those
the stealth ads are getting less stealthy these days
Only £54,321 but nobody has snapped it up yet!
It's a K2 rather than a Proflex surely?
Proflex was the name of the model range.
The original company was Offroad, then sold to K2 (unless it became just Proflex somewhere in between?)
I think it went to Proflex as a company name before being sold to K2

Im having memories of staring at a K2 Animal in Leisure Lakes for quite some time
Ended up with a Zaskar Le (frame) in the end
Goodness me it’s not mine! Just wondering if it was interesting enough to look at it a bit closer. Seems that it might be!
thanks for identifying it guys 😀
How does Facebook Marketplace work? Is there a benefit to listing something at £54,321?
"if you no wot your looking at inbox me with your offer"
Is it an illiterate cretin?
Yes, obviously - he also seems to think it's worth a small fortune because it's a retro bike. There's full bikes on eBay for a few hundred...
I had a Proflex 856 with Pace RC35 forks. I designed and made a rising rate linkage for it and increased the rear travel to 125mm but could only afford RST Hi5 forks.
Was it Shockwave in West Bridgford who stocked Pro-Flex back then?
I remember going there to look at shiny stuff I couldn't afford as a teenager, then wandering across to Mansfield Road cycles to buy some shiny tat I could.
"Anyone know what this is?"
Yes, it's a ridiculous link that could be shortened to this
Or maybe [url=
Sorry to ruin your day with a long link that no one else had any issues with but hope you feel better now you’ve pointed out how clever you are.

Actually, I thought it was a bit crap too ☹️
Just look for the “?” And delete all the rubbish after it
Didn't they have a reputation for snapping?
At each other it appears so....
Fence needs painting

This made me chuckle

That brightened my morning too 🙂
The stated price is just because he felt he had to put a number in, so he stuck 5-4-3-2-1 down and wants offers. I reckon £50 would cover it.
