So I had the article infact still got the review. always wanted one.. drooled and dreamed.


Then this appeared on scottish gumtree
Got this with the help of Big Eck, who actually knew the owner and worked on the bike in the past.

A lot of dreaming later frame was sent to a friend, who fixed the rear suspension and checked out a repair in bottom bracket area.

Quite a lot of help from

Re:

Thinking of selling the frame, so giving it the shot of fame it deserves.

How much for the frame? I recently got a '94 Manitou FS and a friend of mine who isn't really into bikes is bugging me to sell it to him (even though it's way too big for him). I told him that I'll keep an eye out for him for another FS in his size.
 
Re:

Thanks J.B. looks even better now with the hyper ends and AC Turquoise Brace...front forks are now Manitou 4's not 3's...

Syncro's have pm'd you 8)

Re:

would rather sell her to someone on RB.....

Also very much about the build for me.. I love building them.

Getting the frame sorted was costly!....so certainly not about profit 8)
 
Re:

Lovely looking build Nick. That popped out from nowhere!
