Mantis Valkyrie EC

[alasa]

Just built my Valkyrie Ec, I think '89-'90
With Bontrager fork, like MBA test,
mostly XT group, WTB wheelset and saddle,
Fisher bar and grip, American stem, and IRD
rear brake.

That is a very nice build - great spec on a cool frame - good work that man!

How does it ride? Have you owned it since new?

Seriously---that looks awesome. One of my favorite bikes ever. Sort of reminds me of a Quadangle

Lovely I adore that frame and for me the attention to detail of a period correct builds a credit to you

I was the original owner many years back......richard built it for me in 89( actually rode it in durango & moab while at the 1990 world mtb championships)..it was originally black,the color of the frame changed many times.. green ,then pearl red & then finally the blue that it is .....(still have many pics of the many iterations it was.....i should scan them)
