Doug Bradbury Manitou Fork First generation

[Sherpamustache]

I have no proofs but also no doubts that those forks are not legit.

They seem painted and not anodized.

IMHO I think they are newer (or common Answer Manitou I) forks, cutted and with new dropouts solded. Some kind of replication.
I'd say they are not Doug Bradbury's original forks, but a good job though.

Maybe this sounds familiar to you. Sold by you as new. I have evidence and doubts that it was in perfect condition as indicated in the advertisement. New elastomers? all original? Retainers and washers are missing. and the price was €250. And do you know the price to pay for a Manitou DB? but if you don't know how to condition an Answer Manitou 1!!!

greetings Iván
