this Jeep with this bike on it is always parked in the parking lot of my new building.

Gotta find out who the owner is - could be a potential post work ride partner.

Not to be a member of the Fab 5, I will edit.

It'll be cool if you find someone new to ride with. I hope she's hot though.

You wanna ride with someone who owns a Proflex?

They're sure to be a total creep...

That Proflex has been strapped to the back of the Jeep since the truck was new. They have no idea how to get it off.

Or they hope someone will steal it so they can get something that doesn't suck. Being a Proflex, they could put a FREE sign on it and it would still be safe.

Yeah yesterday in the parking lot there were two cars side by side, one with a Giant AC with a psylo, and a Rocky Mountain something with a Talas....all Race Faced and FSA'ed up. First nice bikes I've seen in a while.......

It's definitely got fresh dirt/mud on it.

Why all the Proflex hate? Dont you remember your roots? They were pretty far ahead of the game back in the day..... They still have a good following too, and the brand is resurfacing in Europe it seems..

In 1995 when i got my Proflex, it ROCKED. But it also was nearly the death of me due to the lack of rebound control.

Not saying I'm a snob, I just have nightmares about going OTB on my Proflex :D

My Y-22 was like that with the Alps shock. I remember doing a nose-wheelie over a berm on a trail out in BFE in the mountains one time. I'm lucky I didn't stack and really hurt myself.
