Greetings slimjoe; You have what appears to be 1st. Generation Answer Manitou forks in excellent condition, not the original Bradbury forks. Check the innards, I suspect the elastomers have rotted and died. Do a search on here for replacements or spring sets that are available. I've been...

Greetings; I purchased this frame when I crashed my 91 Ellison(Texas). The original Supergo decals were ugly and peeled off easily, hence the homemade ones. Most of the components were on the Ellison, pity Ellison is out of business. Cheers Frame : Supergo Access Alu Fork ...

1988 Condor? Prestige

Try red Locktite as it is much stronger than the blue, however a propane torch is needed if and when you want remove it. Regards Carl in Fla.

Greetings; I purchased this frameset in 1988, from a shop in Germany while there with the Forces. It was used, taken as a trade, however never built up. There is a Condor head badge, it's lugged and brazed Tange Prestige, but I've always suspected it isn't a Condor. I don't believe Condor...
