1993 Manitou FS

[Davichin]

...and again! A very elegant bike.

I didn´t know that this FS version had dials on the rear suspension (M2 version does not). Just to be picky if I may, I would cut the rear cable sheath around the seatpost a little shorter.

Awesome ... again!

Thank you.

I need some more North American lovelyness to get me teeth into, if you have anything

I may well do that as the rear brake is sticking so it needs a bit of tweaking...

Thanks for being picky...

We'll have to do a Canadian for UK steel swap sometime

I had a nice and neat (short) cable run on mine and almost came off

When the rear end compresses the cable comes higher than the seat QR and when it rebounds it get stuck and ends up pulling the rear brake on and locking the wheel up solid

Guess there's a happy medium but mine still isn't a million miles away
From Gio's if you check the pic on previous page....


Sadly I was a complete dick at this years Mountain Mayhem despite not going mad I've bust mine :facepalm:

Re:

Sorry enough about me

Came out nice ...love the black rings on the Graftons and the wheels are a nice addition too.

Hope to see you in Warwick

Sorry to hear that mate, what happened?

Yep, see you there. I'll be pretty easy to spot...look for the N.O.B

Turned out nice Gio but whatever you do, don't attempt to ride it. Seeing Nicks pristine example with a cracked headtube was a sad sight indeed :cry:

Ok mate. I had a very very quick go on it yesterday but only for about a minute...
