Answer Manitou FS on the Bay

[s_zigmond]

great feedback :roll:

Feed back a concern also

"There are no major dings or scratches"

I would hope there were no dings at all. Scratches arent an issue but no major dings implies to me there are some small dents.

Or am i just sceptical?

no no, I know he was joking...I was continuing the current if you will...perhaps I'm the one that failed

and yes, if you are speaking of the manitou in this thread, it is a nice manitou...or so it seems.

As for Vitor's manitous...they are all very nice. Mine is as well, or so I've been told ...cheers

Hi- new here, but love the site. Just wanted to let anyone know who is interested that I am the lucky gambler on this auction. I will post an update
to this thread when I get the bike- hopefully it will make it to me unscathed.
And hopefully there are no issues. I took a chance on this with the fact that
the seller has no feedback, but he seemed very straight forward....we shall see!

Welcome Robellion.

I was very tempted to go after this bike. The parts alone are sweet. The full suspension frame is less prone to cracking in my opinion, so that is a plus.

Hope it goes well. It is really nice.

received the bike!

Wow- that is all I can say. This thing looks like it was NEVER ridden. Seems that there is absolutely no signs of racing wear on this, was it ridden once on a dry coarse then put away for 15 years? quite possibly. Some of the nice touches that I didn't see or ask during the auction were, Hershey brakes- thought they were something else, a Hershey bottom bracket, and the killer Hershey Cranks. Cool sticker on the frame too- HERSHEY. I am almost afraid to ride this thing.........just kidding- I am definitely going to ride it. The king headset is a DEVO 1 1/4"-1 1/8" in blue! didn't see that coming, which means the Manitou stem is 1 1/8". This is a nice touch since I can now use my AC Manitou crown in BLUE as it is has a 1 1/8" tube. (and the AC Manitou brace in BLUE also!). I definitely will not alter this bike too much- but I feel it could use some period specific touches. Really nice- I will take a few pics and post them when I get some time. Anyone's shared thoughts on restoration or alteration concerns are welcomed- as it really does have some history significance since it was a early 90's Hershey team bike. Stay tuned-
