Would it cost much to get the cranks re-anodised?
Regardless would love to see the finished bike!

Any thoughts about the saddle?

Not 100% sure, there's been talk on here recently about Acorn think they are in Bristol, just up the road from me.

Waiting on the xlite to arrive, got a feeling it will be better suited to this build. I'll have to wait for it to arrive to be sure

Thanks for that, I've messaged you about custom kanz.
Something about 90's Manitous isn't there. And especially Spengle wheels

Thought I'd give a an update on the manitou. I had a change of heart and decided to drop some of the bling on this build and kit it out with quality it deserves. So out with kooka and tech lite and in with full m900
Kept the Spengles as I loved them as a youngen. They are not everyone's cup of tea but you have to admit that they are definitely Iconic
Found some Xtr grey cables on eBay, happy days..... But as it's a 96 model the M3 forks don't really mix, so I'm on the hunt for some manitou efc forks and then I think it will be finished. You know what I mean as they are never really "finished" are they?

Very nice bike, except maybe.... the Spengle's......

They are marmite like Spins. May well put Mavic sunsets on instead, take some pics and see what it looks like

And the grips are lock on which don't work well with the brifters so as you can see they are locked on a few inches further down the bar. But it's only temporary
