Early Manitou fork

Please can someone give me an idea of the value of this pair of forks. They will need elastomers but the condition is ok.

original Doug Bradbury manitou’s. Before the answer takeover.

I can’t tell you the exact value but they’re worth a pretty penny to the right buyer.

Can’t seem to find many or info on them online. Had them for years but never got round to stripping them to use

Yep they’re certainly rare, which is why they’re so expensive. Manitou 1’s are expensive on their own, but a Bradbury model is a lot more. I think the only difference between the answer models were the answer stickers on the fork lowers. But I’m not sure there could’ve been minor improvements.

I know people who pay 600-900 Euros for them old Bradbury ones. But maybe not this model ... yours already look 99% like the Answer Patented one. I does not have the older original drop outs.
