Title: 90s parts mistaken for 80 gold dust....
Post by: skidmark on October 18, 2012, 06:08 PM: Anybody heard of a "Pro-Neck Pro III 2xl freestyle stem"???? or "Pro-Fit"?
the Pro-Neck was in a couple of 1993 Ride mags, Steve Geall had one on his first Zima and I decided to see if any were kicking about.
The first one I found was this.... :shocked: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pro-III-XL-Stem-Old-School-BMX-Vintage-Very-Rare-Fit-Tuf-Neck-/230789804373?pt=Cycling_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35bc24f155
Checking around it looks like a lot of Old School collectors have wrongly assumed them to be 80s rocking horse pooh "Pro-Fit" racing stems!!!! ;D and expect money to match :2funny:

Decided I don't want one after all, gonna stick with my DK ::)
