It's a Proflex 856. The damn thing is sitting out in the garage, exact same model and color. I don't feel the need to prove it's existance to you. I was never obligated to show you a picture in the first place, so lay off it.

Furthermore, if I were just posting a bike I didn't really own, I would have chosen something modern. That model is from about 1994.

I work with a guy that builds bikes as a hobby, and IIRC his pet "ultralight" project is down to somewhere less then 15 pounds and he only has around 2k in it as it sits.

But, this is the fifth or six rendition of it. I think last time he totalled up all his titanium and carbon parts he said he had somewhere in the range of $10,000 worth of parts in his garage.

I don't even know, or want to know how much total he has in the six built bikes in his garage, let alone all the half completed projects.

I had a black bike and so did my friends.

Too many close calls coming out of the shadows with these countless soccer moms in SUVs not being able to see us.

Since the yellow bike (and matching outfit) never a near miss...........

Actually my next bike will be either a black softride FasTT like this one (except with HED 3 wheels): http://www.softride.com/performance/aerodynamics.asp

Or a Griffen Vulcan Kompressor.

Ya know bats... I usually agree with ya.. But

I gotta side with YZF on this one.. 8K is RETARDED to spend on a pedal bike and if you DO spend that much for something without a motor.. it goddam well better be a rolling chassis for a chopper project..

And this is from a guy who back in the day rode a proflex 855, then a cannondale super-v then upgraded to a GT LTS-1 that i took a little too far over a mogul on a downhill and put my mountain biking days on haitus for about 8 years!!! Those were pricey bikes at the time. The LTS-1 was REALLY pricey.. in medical bills!!!!!!!

This summer i finally got back into it and dug out my first decent frame.. a '95 cannondale F-400.. Sadly.. the cantilever brakes were so shot, i had to ditch my beloved rignle mojo cable hangers when i upgraded to v-brakes. and I actually found a NOS set of threadless 1 1/8th tube Rock shox judys to put on it!! I got me a mean old school ride baby!!!!!!
