This listing is for a mk1 1990 Offroad Proflex frame. One of only 100 built, by Serotta. True Temper USA steel tubing. Measurements: Frame size: 18″ CTC (19.25 CTT) Top tube: 22.25″ CTC Seatpost: 26.8mm The rear suspension has been rebuilt, so it is back to catalogue standard. It has a new alloy tube (that the elastomer rides on) of the same dimensions as the original. It also has a new replacement elastomer of the same colour, length and outer diameter as the original. The only difference is that the hole in the elastomer measures 12mm rather than 9mm, so just 1.5mm smaller all the way around. There has been a minor brazed hole repairs to the rear of the seat tube – it has been done well and is structurally sound. One of the frame brake bosses is a little wobbly. It doesn’t spin and has probably been like it for most of it’s life. No dents, but plenty of scrapes here and there. This is an excellent opportunity to own one of the first full suspension’mountain bikes’ in history, and it would make a great project for someone. Any questions just let me know. This item is in the category “Sporting Goods\Cycling\Bike Frames”. The seller is “manitou916″ and is located in this country: GB. This item can be shipped to United Kingdom.

Offroad proflex 750 classic retro full suspension mountain bike 19 Frame

Offroad proflex 750 classic retro full suspension mountain bike 19 Frame

This is my offroad proflex 750 that I’ve owned since 1994. Over the years it has moved house with us several times and been upgraded, downgraded and then neglected and used for spares by my sons who eventually abandoned it in a sorry looking state. I have always loved this bike and remember it attracting a lot of attention in it’s day. It was the first full suspension bike on the market in 1990/91 with the patented Girvin flexstem. These days, old models like this are still sought after as retro classics and they are hard to come by. I have lovingly and painstakingly restored this one by stripping it down to the bone and polishing the aluminium frame. I have used as many of the original parts as I could (stripping and servicing them along the way). Any missing parts have been replaced by good quality used or new. I have replaced the old shifters with shimano STX rapidfire…. New chain / all new cables / tubes / brakes etc. All the old elastomer bushes have been replaced with new…. I will be sad to see it go but the alternative will be going back in the barn and collecting dust. It looks great and is cleaned oiled polished and ready to go. The item “Offroad proflex 750 classic retro full suspension mountain bike 19 Frame” is in sale since Thursday, December 29, 2016. This item is in the category “Sporting Goods\Cycling\Bikes”. The seller is “daddyfixit13″ and is located in Llansannan, Conwy. This item can be shipped to United Kingdom.
