Pivot Bushings
KS Bearings (Kolbenschmidt Pierburg)
Fe GERMANY

Part Number (catalog part number)
PAF 30160 P10
“Metric Permaglide Flanged Bearing”
On Page 369 of my KS Catalog

There's an alternate part number that was used in some Mantra frames:
PAF 30260 P10
This bushing is 10 mm longer, so it should last longer (and wear on the aluminum pivot shaft less).

Bushing service procedure is on the last couple pages of this document:

You can score the bushings off ebay now and then and some Trek dealers still have them. There was a fellow from Germany posting on my site a few months back who had several sets. His machinist buddy was able to order them, so if you know someone in that industry, give them the KS Bearing number and see what they can do.

I like the Blastberry '98 Comp. Purdy. There was a custom painted '97 Pro on ebay several years ago with the boom tube and rear triangle done in that color. I couldn't afford to win that auction at the time unfortunately.
