For sale is my turned out to be cracked and dented, absolutely beautiful Manitou HardTail.

She's the HT950 model number 090 and was born on 1st September 1994.
She's an 18" model, 16" centre to centre with a 22 1/2" top tube.
Polished with blue HT logos and white with black outline Manitou ones.

She comes with:
Working 1 1/4" Manitou three forks in excellent condition
Manitou machined stem 130mm long and for 1 1/4" with original silver top cap
Chris King no logo turquoise 1 1/4" Nothreadset
Original seat collar with turquoise Control Tech bolt ( I think it is anyway !)
Band on XTR M901 from mech
And the original seat post made out of a Manitou 1 fork leg with a Ringlé Moby top bit.
A Shimano bottoml bracket, I think it's an UN91 - I had full M900 on her so I guess I had that in there.
An Answer Hyperlight in turquoise. Cut a little shorter and with minor marks from controls.

I've had her for about 8 years I think and the last 6 have been in bubble wrap

Points to note are:
Marking to the bottom of the down tube, I guess from stone impact, no dents it just feels slightly pitted.
Some chain suck, again not too terrible and mainly hidden by the chain set.
An H is missing on the drive side, so it says 'ard tail.
There's a little bit of the T missing on the other side.
Very minor nicks out of the top tube sticker too, it's the lovely white and blue one : )
The forks are very clean and working although the rebound is a bit lumpy so you'd be best stripping them.
The King has a small scuff and was mounted with this round the back, it's on the bottom cup.



Cost is £650 for a pick up near Ilkley, Yorkshire. ___ Now sold ____

Postage will be at cost for fully insured winged angels to where ever you are.

Edit.

there turned out be to a hairline crack in the bb and due to a fook up in the packaging a dent in the down tube. Arse. I'm gutted.

sorry another couple

the rub on the King and a close up of the fork legs, bit dry so they defo need a grease / going over. It's never been stored outside though so the elastomers still move.
