I need to buy a new truck for work so I've got to sell some of my stuff. :cry:

Random things may pop up a bit later (including the FSR if things get REALLY bad!) so keep watching.

All prices are posted prices, but you can collect if you like.

Ok, go!

1. GT i-Drive 5.1.0
Actual GT -Not halfords crap. Top end model (Best part of $3000 when new)
Medium frame (Guessing around 17" but will measure if you ask)
Marzocchi MZ Race fork 4" travel
Fox (Alpes?) shock 5" with adjustment
XT Shadow shifters and mechs
Shimano M505 wheelset, 28 spokes a piece I think.
LX Disc brakes & levers. Blue calipers.
Raceface chainset
Red bottom bracket. Sorry, can't remember what make. External bearings.
Raceface Next carbon bars
Carbon bar ends -NOT the ones pictured.
Carbon seatpost -NOT the one pictured.
FELT stem -NOT Kore as pictured
DMR saddle with blue corners
GT grips in blue
Hope cable guides/v brake mount blanks in blue

Overall in perfect condition with the exception of one small bit of heel rub on the left chainstay.

£600

2. MANITOU FS Frame
Shipped over from the states by myself. (So bear in mind my shipping costs)
Small frame
Rear shocks work ok, but will need overhauling soon.
Small weld on the bottom of the bottom bracket. It was done before I owned it and looks like it's been there for ages.
Gear hanger needs thread re-cutting.
Small dent under top routed cable. (Like smaller than the tip of your baby finger!) -Just telling you how it is. Don't want any surprises do ya?

However, it comes with a seat, post, clamp, BB, cranks, pedals and front mech. All the awkward to find bits.
I have a fully functional matching Manitou 3 fork with 1¼" steerer, but I haven't decided what I'm doing with it yet. Maybe if someone made me an outstanding offer that could be included too. -This is really good nick though so am quite happy to just keep it! :twisted:

So all in all, if you re-cut the thread you have a Rideable Manitou, which is more than can be said for some...

Cranks and pedals are nothing special. Alivio I think, but they came with the frame so they can go with the frame. You can bin them, flog them, whatever. :LOL:

SOLD!

£10


6. STX-RC Rear Mech
Same as above. Used and a bit scuffed. Works fine though.

Not sure how you fit this. I thought bottle cage mounts, but you might need to spend a few pence and buy an 'O' ring.

Fitted but unused.
120mm long, about an inch rise, standard 25.4 bar clamp and 1 1/8 steerer clamp.

Imported from Germany. Definately a 9.5/10 example. Comes with instruction manual and drill template.
Elastomers are fine, Canti hanger is there, NO SCRATCHES on legs, only bad bit is what looks like vice marks on the crown. These should sand off fine though or swap crown.
Steerer is 1 1/8th" and 200m long.

SOLD!! to get most of my money back.

Hi,

Interested.

Can you send more shots to me please?

Regards



Ratters

I'm guessing that was your pm ^ and it ended up on here too?!
I do intend on putting more pics up, it's just that I'm at work and the bikes are in the garage.
Any particular item you were interested in?
 
interested in that Manitou. Could it take a few trails or would it be only for a garage queen build?
Don't intend to jump it but do like a bit of fast singletrack.

If it were me I'd certainly give it a go. Bought a seatpost, handlebars and was intending on building it up.
The weld is only a couple of mm long (Meaning the crack is less?) and at the time of purchase it didn't make me freak out and return it to the sender.
Given it's location I guess if you were really worried then you could weld a collar on aswell, but I think that's a bit overkill.
 
thanks for the info.

Ok, depending on a pic of the welded area and confirmation of tt length i'm in for that frameset and forks bundle.

The 93 manitou fs was one of my dream bikes to own and ride so i can't pass this up.

Thanks, J
 
Everybody play nice! You know the drill. Dibs here and then a pm. Sneaky pm's without a scribble on the forum are a bit unfair. :D


Jimjim, you're 1st.
 
More pictures up. My camera is cruel. It magnifies every bit of dirt or imperfection!

Manitou measures 15" seat tube centre to centre, about 16.5 centre to top (Measured with a cruddy 5" ruler) and top tube is 21".

I'd also like to mention I forgot there's a chip on the left chainstay. You can just about see it in one of the photos.
