Manitou Hardtail 94

*Small update*

Well springs have arrived for the Judy's so I will rebuild them today regrease the headset and fit the new back tyre (michelin wildgripper lite s) courtesy of Gruff. Just need a matching one for the front now :?:

Give the bakes a clean and an adjust and she will be good to go. :D

Will get some more up to date pics up soon....... :p

That should be ridable soon so you can come for a ride.

It is indeed FC, just need half an hour or so to put forks and headset on and wheels too.

Should all be shorted for a ride on the 17th...... :D
 
Just finished putting it back together! Back wheel (running nice and true thanks to AndyB) and tyre all on v brakes cleaned up a bit and Judy's back on too. Took it out for a quick spin round the block and she feels like a new ride so responsive! :shock: So pleased with the spring upgrade :D

Well here are a couple of pics, not the best tho as they were taken on my phone and the light is fading.......

Seeing as though the weather is nice and the Manitou has had some new parts I've decided to take her out for a nice ride. So I'm about to ride the 14 miles from my house to work! Will post up some pics if I make it in one piece :LOL:

Hope my bum is upto the ride :?
 
Made it to work in one piece 14 miles in just under 50 mins so am quite pleased with that :!:

Will put some pics up when I get home tonight :p
 
:) Nice Manitou, looks like a good everyday ride.

Of course at some point you should get some Manitou forks with a nice machined brace to go with it!.

But nice job, :)
 
Had another little play with the Manitou and is now sporting Flat bars (Dawes ones are just a temp measure to see how I get back on with flats), X-Lite bar ends, X-Lite bar plugs and an X-Lite seat quick release tho i'm not sure weather that is staying.....May go back to my Ti X-Lite bolt... :?

There has been a small casualty though my lovely clear Onza Ules split as i was taking them off :cry: So I have had to settle for some black Giant ones from the LBS for the time being. Not very retro but they do the job :(
