I only discover this thread now, and WOW !!! You’ve done a lovely build, beautiful, I love it

Thank you. A labour of love.

Took it out for a few easy miles last week. Such fun to ride.

Nice bike but not quite correct. Fork should be Manitou. Rear derailleur was a custom piece, blue anodized. Skewers were also blue.

I think it had the option of Manitou or Rock Shox.

Major update on the bike;

First of all I finally managed to get the knackered bottle cage rivets off the bike that were spinning and allowed me to put titanium bottle cage bolts. The shop drilled them off but saved the cage.

Next major update is the change of forks. Off came the Manitou 4s and on with the 1994 Rock Shox Mag SL Ti. Fully consistent with the 94 Ultimate Titanium.

Had to source a Mag steerer as the Mag SL Ti was an ahead stem with magnesium crown. Didn’t want to change out the M900 headset and lose the “all XTR” look.

Massive thanks to @wadsy for selling me the forks and setting them up with the long travel upgrade. Think they look fab and are holding air lovely.

The titanium bolts work lovely with the M900 canti Ti upgrade too.

Totally beaming.
