Agree - riding off road, especially in winter hairy legs offer improved insulation, especially when caked in mud. (and nettles and brambles dont hurt so much) 8)

that's a lot of light for the money! Mmmm - winter after work rides will be due soon! :?

I'm no expert but it looks like 1998 although my catalogue from that year has that model as a soft tail type frame and specced with a whole load of different kit Price wise was about £1K Very nice though :)

I love those mitchelins - have a pair languishing in my garage that I am defo going to refit soon - such a minimalist look :D

Serious miles since 1990 - commuting and recreational. Since 2002 just recreational - and I feel as old as I am! :?

I have a 98 Vertik II so can measure mine tomorrow if that helps :) Got a pic of the bike?

I've been running a short cage xtr for years with no shifting problems whatsoever :)

Sunn made a titanium version of the exact around that time and those are sunn forks - also cable routing looks right to me But what would I know :wink:

Every rim has it's death day - fortunately this happened at low speed!

Interested in a pair of old retro Manitou forks (Magnum possibly) to fit a '92 M800 and a nice stem (syncross? etc) I'd rather deal with you guys than chance FleaBay :D

Damn - just missed a pair of Manitou Magnums on FleaBay by a few seconds :x

Decals I belive were replaced by previous owner - it does look like the Manitous are the way to go to keep it's character - or I might just go a different way :roll:

Thanks for that - must have got serial no wrong as it does not correspond to any on that info page - I'll have another look tomorrow

Serial number - B1-0301 What does this mean???? Just replaced the chain with a cheap one to get it running and gave it a bit of a clean :D

whisper: is this a forum wide Sunn dislike just so I know not to bang on about my pride and joy :wink:

I'm shocked :shock: :lol: After trawling though loving restorations on this site this evening and then....... Great rat bike though dude :D

fair point - they did make some nice bikes back then - the Exact was with the Colombus frame wasn't it? You still got the obsys forks?

!998 Sunn Vertik II - XT/XTR, Pace RC36's - some dodgy bits inc grip/bar ends necessary due to age of rider :wink: Lurvelly springy steel frame, very rare bike due to the up and down nature of the manufacturer Can't believe this is the only photo I hev been able to find!

Now I know I'm on the right forum if you are arguing about age and model :lol: Will look for serial number tomorrow - also just spoke to a mate in the trade who will look it over and maybe help with cheap bits. The story behind this bike - belonged to a mate who has been battling cancer...
