Re: *** Travis Brown's Bradbury FS Manitiou ***

Always been a bit of a fan of Travis Brown.I remember that magic 10th place at Durango.

I guess Overend and Travis had a bit of a home advantage Still a great ride though.

Manitiou?

The Bradbury era Manitous don't have serial numbers AFAIK, well mine don't.

Nice piece of history!

might be worth dropping Martin Kozaczek a PM as he has a couple of early Bradbury Manitou's from 1989 viewtopic.php?f=6&t=234819

He'll know for sure about serial numbers...granted his are hard tails before anyone flames me

Still keep coming back to have another look at your FS ... Its awesome

What is everyone's opinion about cleaning this bike up? Since we are displaying it in our museum we are wondering if we take the time to take it apart and detail each piece and put it back. Keeping the original everything in place, just cleaning / degrease / lubing it and rebuilding. Keeping the OG Cables etc.

Or do you just leave it as it was after its last ride?

What do you think?

His don't either as far as I can remember.

Leave as is I reckon.

Much better the way it is.

With Gio on this one.

If Travis was the last person to set this bike up to his exact preference then I'd leave it alone knowing it's exactly set up for him and him alone.

It would be part of the history I guess
