Fonud in the Trash Part II

Crusing down my alley admiring the 2 feet of snow on the ground when I saw a handlebar sticking out of a dumpster. Certainly not above digging around in the trash, so I pulled out this:

I dont know what it is about Specialized in this town... people keep throwing them away! The Manitous are virtually worthless. Elastomer stack removed long ago.. suppose I could rebuild but worth it? Score on the M900 cranks. 1" Specialized headset and Hyperlites are nice too...

This sucker is small... 19" top tube and 13.5" seat tube. Anyone with a year?

do you see that massive crack in the cranks?

:LOL: Forgot to edit my post. Saw that, got all bummed, and then realized it was just a piece of string. Trust me, no crack
 
The Hyper's may clean up with a drop of Brasso or T-Cut, but the Manitou's are sha**ed and the cranks are cracked.
Frame looks ok, but needs TLC. Age, I would put it at 93/94??

Even if it was cracked, you've still ended up with a free Stumpy and Hyper!

As its not cracked, double bonus!
 
That's so great.

As I've said before, please can I come and live there.

Such a shame the British are only one rung up the imigration desirabilty stakes ladder above the Tal*ban.

:cry:
 
i think i have the same stumpy i. e. a purple one from 1992. but this one looks very small and is seriously pimped (XTR cranks, manitou 1, hyperlites). stem, dx breaks and headset look original. you can see the original setup in one of the catalogues on mtb-kataloge.de
btw. i'm sure the manitou can be revived.
