don't know much about them but they look cool - even if everybody talks about them falling to bits...
 
definitely COOL

I ever wanted one and a couple of years ago I got one NOS. The bike is for display only, however I got another one that I actually ride. Not daily but I use it also in the rain and mud, do not pamper it much - so far no cracks....

Not wowed personally.. Was there ever a Team Manitou or did Doug just have his forks on the Starting Line?
man·i·tou or man·i·tu

Travis Brown did ride for Manitou.....and Jurgen Beneke (sp?) rode DH for them too (I think!).

"Man! Its broken in tou!"


:D :D :D

hahaha, thats the irony of the cool wall. they're cool, yet sh,te! I like the jeff archer firstflight comments on mtbr.com a while back. it took us 3 framesets to make 1 working 1 :)
 
Uber cool especially the pictures posted. I remember seeing one and it was the first time I'd seen cnc, suspension of any kind(barring a flex stem) and lovely polishing on a bike. Truly jaw dropping. As for cracking didn't everything crack in those days?
