Nice job, think you've got the balance right with the ano.

Will be keeping an eye out for future builds but you've set yourself some high standards.
Thanks man! I'm really pleased to hear your opinion
It has turned out as exactly what I envisaged at the start when I assembled my parts

Cool, thanks!
I was pleasantly surprised how easy it is to work on Manitous they look really fearsome!
Though the credit for putting me onto suspensionforkparts.net goes to 'Marin man'
Although the gotcha where you only get elastomers and a teeny sachet of elastomer grease was a surprise discovery by me!
Glad you found a bargain stem, I couldn't believe my luck when I found a brand new long reach (150mm) 1-1/4" lightweight cro-mo quill stem for £4
Proper stroke of luck! but for that I would probably had to have refinished the old one - only 135mm reach

cracking read , many help tips but I have the impression that your one of those annoying feckers who always come up smelling of roses when the sheet hits the fan
Love the bike (apart from the pedals!!) and considering I spent about as much time on my Marin as you have on yours yours looks infinately better. well done.
props to the find of the sus forks website as well.
