MANITOU EFC

[Mochuelo24]

Good morning friends, I have found the possibility of buying a manitou efc from the year 96 but there are some parts that baffle me a bit. I would appreciate it if someone could help me. It has several parts that for me do not match the originals but I can't find if they are from a slightly newer version.

1- The box it comes with is a mach 5 but the label does match a manitou efc


2- The brake stop does not match the original but could it be from a slightly later version?



Can anybody help me?

Thank you

Here's a pic of one with the same bridge.

The truth is that I always thought that the only bridge for the original fork was this, it has been a discovery.

Same here, and same for the dials on top.

From the Manitou catalogue 1996

You have the younger, slightly "cheaper" dials on it. Which were introduced in 1995 on the Manitou Mach 5 (yellow dials). They were eventually used on the EFC in red as well.
