I have an XL Animial frame I'm not using anymore. It was well used, I bought another frame because it seemed like there was play in the swingarm. There are rebuild kits for the bushings on ebay that may fix this problem. I'll give you the frame and the swingarm for the cost of shipping it to you but it comes with no guarantee. I'd be happy to give it to you but it was well used.

That would be great! Could you post a picture of the frame so that I can be sure that it's the right model? I'm not sure which year my bike was made, but at some point proflex changed the attachment point for their rear swing arm on the animal...so if I can see a picture I'll be sure if it's the right model. Thanks so much for your generosity!

I have an XL ProFlex 856 frame that I've been thinking about selling. The picture below will give you an idea of the frame style which depending on the year of your Animal, might be a perfect fix for you. The frame has been repainted with a medium green powdercoat and has no decals on it right now. The rear swingarm is all still black. And the rear Mountain SpeedSpring is also still black. Let me know if you're interested and we can work something.

I got your message...I am unable to reply with a private message because I haven't posted 50 posts on this forum...I am interested in further discussion about the frame that you have, but it would be easier to communicate directly via email...would that be possible?
Thanks,
