Just arrived today, snapped a pic or three, stay tuned for more info and pics. Going to make a start on it tomorrow. Need to have a good rake through the spare parts pile and see what have/don’t have. Hope I get the pics the right way up this time!!!

Re:

Think I saw this, or one just like it on fb the other day!

Do we know what it is as I think that was up for identification but I missed whether it was identified or not, is it a manitou?

Definitely not a Manitou, rear is all wrong and theres no factory installed cracks.

Ahh thats more definite than a serial number isn't it lol.

Is it a zaskar then....?

:LOL:
 
Re:

It’s a Fuchs, not 100% sure but I think it’s a 1990 model. No dents or cracks, looks like it’s had an easy life.
 
Re:

I’ve seen one before for sale but it was wayyyy out my price range. This popped up at what I think was a real bargain, so I just went for it. It’s going to be a spare parts build with whatever I have. Then over time I’ll tweak it till it’s the way I want it.
 
Re:

Got a good few hours at the bike today. Progress is good but I need a BB and a seat tube.

Re:

I give up!!!! Canny get my pics the right way up, sorry. You’ll just need to turn the computer on it’s side.
 
Re:

Just finished fitting all the control cables. Kind of at a standstill till I get a seat post and BB. Should be a rider then. Need to source a rear hub in the near future though. Borrowed the wheel for the rear from another bike as it’s the only 130 hub I have.
