Hi,
just joined after finding the forum searching for replacement parts for my Manitou forks.
I have a Dynatech MT4 frame with Manitou 1 forks, and 1993 XT groupset (1993 DX B/B and headset). Mavic M231 rims on XT hubs, with Ritchey Megabite (front) and IRC Geoclaw tyres (rear). Shimano M737 SPD pedals, Purple Marin bottle cages and Onza porcipaw grips (very early-mid 90s!), and some black Onza bar ends. I've only ridden a couple of hundred miles on it since building it at the end of 1993 / early 1994 when I was 17. Only thing more recent is the seatpost 1999 Control Tech (had a USE suspension seatpost when the bike was built, but the frame really didn't like the seatpost + shim idea (or I was sold the wrong size shim)).
The bike is partly in bits waiting to repair the forks or put the original rigid forks back on, but I will add a photo once it's back together.
I also have a 1993 Ridgeback 603GS
(which has the rigid forks from the Dynatech fitted at present as I bent the originals in an accident) and a 1991 Raleigh Mirage :shock: both of which I've also owned from new.
I haven't really been into bikes since the mid-1990s, but trying to get back into it now. Struggling to get my head around all of the new stuff and who makes what now though.
Always used to like mid 1990s Marins when they were dark and light grey colour, and still have a thing for Orange bikes, but never owned either.
