ProFlex 854, one of the first full suspension bikes made

I got this from a neighbor a year or two ago who had it in an outside building. He nor I knew anything about it at the time. It was in great condition, just needed tires as they had dry rotted. It still had the originals, barely used. I also had to replace the MCU springs(yellow bushing, which were a bitch to find). They crumbled into nothing when I sat on it. Its a kickass bike and very light.
