Retro Newbie
Hi All,
I have recently got my hands on a rather tasty Balance FS.450 Manitou Comp. This bike is UNTOUCHED and apart from age and usual wear for a bike of this age, is in original condition.
However because of age the original elastomers in the rear forks are degraded and fell to pieces when I removed the stanchion. The elastomers in the front forks are completely missing, and the forks were left bottomed out.
Does anybody know where I could source some replacements or have any alternative anecdotes to replace these parts for a rare bike?
Cheers!
