Anyone rebuilt the elastomers on the back of a Manitou FS? They're rotted out so no guide as to what was in there. Doesn't seem to be a rebound 1/2 elastomer?

Forgot to mention threaded

Great pics Chris, thanks. Be there next year.

Keep looking on the bay but still no luck in finding an inch and a quarter Manitou 2 crown and steerer the right length; I have a 205mm one to swap, or 1 1/8th, or an inch steerer, or can buy. Roughly 165mm needed to fit an early Manitou FS. Thanks in hope!

If Malvern doesn't show interest then lmk

Building just the same to a similar spec. Agree on the cable routing; getting rid of "faults" isn't my bag either.

That is stunning, well done.

Stunning build. Love the Manitou fork, sits well

The downtube stickers look too far up maybe, look like the 90 graphics? Great bike though.

Lovely, really different. I have a sachs quartz wheelset in the shed as I had ideas of doing this groupset

Yes, you're right. I think that's why there's two distinct frame types. Saracen had an estay frameset out at the same time so makes sense.

I picked one of these up from local car boot and it got the usual strip treatment with all the kit going on my cirrus. My cousin designs for Halfords and has two immaculate quattros as there were two generations with different lugs etc. They were Dawes frames and had options of the black or...

Congrats Mark, lovely. This has been really useful as it now confirms what my dad's Roberts is. It was stickered up as an RFD racing but we knew it was a Roberts when we bought it from the Malvern Hills Classic in 89. I plan on replicating your graphics for sure.

I think my Funk is a 26.8? Don't know where that sits in this time frame?

I presume they were painted in the same booth as kleins as they have the same flag sticker?

That's cleared up what my dad's Roberts is from when we bought it from Malvern's classic in 91 with RFD graphics. Lovely.

Mine's the same on the underside of the stay. Like you say, shows provenance!

Think I need that paint job on mine...

Stunning. Love a Funk. That fork is tough to find.
