These must be as rare as hens teeth. Happy to fully service the fork prior to sale. However its easier to ship like this.

A retro 2.37lb elastomer manitou carbon fork. Gave me a 24-25lb FRO with front suspension. Great boost after running one of Bradburys manitou 1 forks.

hi, do you still have these? if so, how does the headset arrangement work? i have a threaded 1 1/4 at the moment. Also what colour is the stem? thanks, rich

Still got them.

The forks fit with a standard threaded headset. Then you place a provided alloy sleeve over the exposed thread & fit ahead style stem.

ATACs are silver. You can choose from one of two. Both 0 deg (to compensate for the increase length of suspension fork) 135mm or 150mm.
