Well Steve your prayers helped a lot! Thanks!
A little update:
I have to make some choices here. Maybe you guys can help me out.
Choices are:
1) Chris King headset silver or purple?
2) Handlebar silver (Tioga) or purple (Answer Hyperlite)
The seatpost is not arrived yet. That is a Kooka seatpost in purple. I think that is a better choice when it comes to color and age...
Tires will be skinwall tires instead of black tires.
Chainrings will be M900. Also I have a XTR M900 front mech on it's way instead of the XT front mech.
I'm still searching for a chrome seatpost and a chrome rigid fork. Is there anyone who can help me getting those parts??? :roll:
Some pics of all the parts:

Normally not a fan of purple but it would look ace on that Mantis..

Update:
AS you can see, the seatpost is not the right one. Or purple or a chrome one will do much better, imo!

Magura shifter pots
Grafton Re-Entry's

Tioga handlebar
Answer Atac stem, with alu purple bolt
Chris King headset (Special thanks for the special person who send me this one!)
