Looks like a shockabsorber off an early Proflex MTB.
Mt Cycles rear shock circa 91-93 if I am correct.
Rear elastomer-based shock from the original Mountain Cycles San Andreas.
Rear Suspension from a Fisher RS-1
Off of a pro flex bicycle the elastomer rear or front shock (originally from Rhode Island bought by K2 in Washington State)
here’s my half-ass comment : whenever in doubt and it looks to sport elastomer and preload just mention GIRVIN in the answer but I have to say it does look like a a mountain Cycle san andreas read shock or CHAiNkey ? either or ….
Def some kind of elastomer rear shock…I’ll guess from the back of an old Pro-Flex.
three compound elastomer shock, but SAMSUNG ?
I’m gonna say it’s the front elastomer stack of the Girvin suspension fork.
Its a mountain cycle rear shok , hence the company color way died elastomers .
Fisher RS1 featured a coil shok
Girvan dampers were yellow
I’m with Underground and Ernesto, mainly because the Proflex/Girvin/K2 rear shock didn’t have eyelets if I remember correctly…it was fixed to the mono-stay at both ends.
Mountain cycle SanAndreas elastomer shock it is!
Answer from Jeff at First Flight Bicycles: “The elastomer stack shock is from a Mountain Cycles full suspension bike.”
I had one and I loved that frame.
