1995 Answer Manitou HT - New Old Stock!! what do you think?

skillet

Retro Newbie
I recently was able to talk my local bike shop owner into selling me this frame that I have drooled over for the last 15 years. I always wanted this as my XC race bike. Sorry but not all the parts are period correct but it is what I could find and my total costs are low. It has less than 10 rides total! Unfortunately I took a bad crash in my first race and seperated my shoulder. Don't worry, the bike was OK. :D What do you think??

I also have a 1994 HT that I have painted and put new decals on. I am planning on selling this soon. I will post pics of that one later....
Ride on!

It may not be period correct but I think you've done a sterling job, nice one :D
 
The modern bits suit that frame very well, I bet it turned some heads on the start line?!
 
good on you for racing retro. hope the shoulder heals fast.

are you concerned about the frame cracking?
