Many thanks. I didn't realise it would look as good as it does when I started this.
I previously owned the CFM3 (purchased new in 1991) and pretty much told the bike shop guy to swap most of the stuff from a Cannondale MTB he had in the window.
The Cannondale had Ritchey cranks, Araya RM400 Wheels. etc
I can not for the life of me remember th Cannondale I pilfered the parts from, but it was worth being a pushy prick.
The CFM3 had the purple fade paint job and it totally suited the Manitou 3's but I am building my interpretation of the bike I rode in 1991.
I did have the XT thumb shifters on it but I am keen on running triggers to give them a go.
