Silverfish 1993 Manitou FS

So my options with the front end were to replace the King headset and Manitou stem with threadless versions - or find an ahead M2 steerer and crown. I figured the latter would be easier.

Didn’t have much joy on the forum but found a random one in a box at home 😳

Stem had obviously been over tightened to get it to clamp on the threaded steeerer because there was no way the stem was going to fit my ahead one 🤦‍♂️

About 3 hours of sanding later - success 🕺

I also switched out the clear ATi waffle grips for Oury. The clear grips actually looked pretty good, but I think the Oury in black look a lot classier. IMG_2721.jpeg IMG_2722.jpeg IMG_2725.jpeg IMG_2726.jpeg

Thanks a lot, now I really want another FS....

If you happen to know of one 16/17 inch in good condition, remember me 😁
 
Couldn’t help myself 🤣 this bike is so pretty it needed the Critical Racing upgrade.
And some 3DV Mojo hangers to finish it off.
Completed build pics incoming 😍
