Hello,
Inside the Manitou 3 1 1/4 orignal on the frame. I found coil+elastomer combi, look in good shape, the rest is completely in bad condition, …

So many problems with Topline Micro D 131 mm bottom brackets still too short. Need too change, the crankset. 137 mm are too rare … and 142 mm are impossible to get a goog chain line.

 

[The Judge]

Kooka forged are better choice, 115 mm bb is large enough. Light but coating looks fragile. Color is copper like. Nos.
