Description: Now here's ANOTHER piece of vintage DH MTB history (literally just sold a nearly identical one this past week)! Here we have a 1997 Proflex 757 Expert complete with the original Noleen Crosslink Expert fork and Noleen rear suspension. NOTE: I'D LIKE TO KEEP THIS FRAMESET TOGETHER, BUT MAY END UP SELLING THE FRAME AND FORK SEPARATELY. IF INTERESTED IN ONE OR THE OTHER, PLEASE CONTACT ME! Just like the one I recently sold, this thing is an absolute TANK. It's made of welded Easton Custom ProGram Aluminum made exclusively for Proflex! The swingarm is incredibly beefy. There is no play whatsoever in the rear suspension (or the front, for that matter.) There are some signs of use on this frame, and a bit of storage damage on the top tube, as well as a few other spots here and there that are clearly evident in the photos. Nothing serious. The paint is in exceptionally good condition, it is apparently very thick. The Noleen Crosslink EXP fork is in great cosmetic condition. As with the rear NR-1 shock, it's safe to assume it will need service (if it doesn't, you're ahead of the game!) It's clear this bike was well taken care of. Steerer is of course 1-1/8". Seat post size is 27.2 mm. The bottom bracket spins nicely. The fork has been carefully removed from the frame to keep shipping costs as low as possible. I've also included the adapter thingies that go in the cable housing. The size as indicated on the decal on the frame is "LARGE" and I measure 20" from the center of the axle to the top of the seat tube. The effective top tube looks to be about 22.75". This is vintage DH frameset is straight and solid and ready for you to build to your specifications. You know what to do. Scoop this beauty up before someone else does ... RIGHT NOW! Finally, for a better understanding of the bike's overall condition, PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE and see the MANY PHOTOS I HAVE INCLUDED BELOW, RIGHT IN THE LISTING, IN ADDITION TO THE 24 THAT EBAY NOW ALLOWS! I want you to know what you're getting! "WILL THIS BIKE FIT ME?" Please refer to the LAST IMAGE in the set above, it's a handy chart I found on the excitebikes.com website. It's just a guideline though, to be sure, consult your local bike shop's fitting department! About the shipping: please know, I do not mark up shipping, I charge whatever eBay's system tells me. The cost to get it to you is a function of two things: 1) the size of the box I have available to ship it (one of my larger ones at 48" x 8" x 24" due to the size of the frame), and 2) your distance from New Jersey. Thanks for understanding! That about does it. If by chance you need any components to complete your build, please let me know. If you have questions about the frame, please ask before bidding. ZERO FEEDBACK BIDDERS - welcome to eBay! I'd love to provide your first positive rating. Just message me before bidding, mmmmmm-kay? Thanks! Item sold used "as is". No warranties, implied or otherwise. Auction winner assumes all liabilities and must be based in the USA - no international buyers. Sorry but I cannot ship this frame outside the continental USA, and I will not ship to a freight forwarder either. Why? Because eBay says that I no longer have any seller protections if a freight forwarder is utilized. Thanks for understanding! I take great pride in the way I pack frames for shipment. I have to use new cardboard boxes from Amazon ($12-$15 each) because my local bike shops can't always provide me with boxes in the sizes I need. Smaller frames ship with forks removed (if present), rear triangle blocked with wood, and lots, lots, LOTS of crumpled up newspaper to ensure the frame doesn't move around inside. Larger frames also ship with the rear triangle blocked with wood, and with any fork still attached. I use cardboard bracing in several key spots (front and rear brake bosses, bottom bracket, rear dropouts) along with heavy-duty zip ties to ensure the frame does not move around once the box is closed. The process is tedious but the results are worth it, as my past customers will attest! Finally, Check my feedback and bid with confidence. I ship *FAST* and don't sell JUNK!TERMS AND CONDITIONS: By placing a bid or using buy it now the buyer agrees to the following terms and conditions: Every effort has been made by the seller to inspect, photograph and accurately describe this item's condition, however all items are sold AS-IS.
