So...it isn't REALLY a bicycle at all then? A bicycle being something that is designed to be RIDDEN. A lot. In any conditions.

You do realise this forum is about old bikes, don't you? :?

Yes! But IMO the clue is in the scond word - "old" is the descriptor but "bikes" is the subject!

Prompted me to skim that Topic! Silly money. However rich I were I wouldn't have paid even a grand for that frame. Not even pretty in my eyes. Boring in fact!

Each to their own, obviously.

"Please note, if buyer were to restore the bike to it's original build, Answer Lite straight bars would be needed, I had these cut off and replaced with the Azonic riser bars, my bike mechanic advises great care should be taken when opening the bar clamp on the stem."


Eh? straight bars slide out surely? why were they 'cut - out'.

and do they mean that the stem clamp area had to be stretched open to fit the riser bar in - and now it's got a stress fracture.

not knocking it - i love manitou ht's.
