P Pickle Retrobike Rider Gold Trader GT Fan Feedback View Sep 11, 2008 #2 Dont like it one bit! Whaaaay over the top! A Manitou should be subtle, not in your face like that. Those forks shouldn't be anywhere near that frame; it needs 1's or 2's. Oh, some people, really!

beepbeep Senior Retro Guru Feedback View Sep 11, 2008 #9 I happened across this too but the thing that really scares me is this: "NEEDS NEW STEM 1 1/4 WITH SHORTER STACK HEIGHT THAN WHAT IS ON BIKE NOW. CURRENT STEM HAS NO SPACE FOR SPACER SO HEADSET/STEM IS TIGHT." Not the best thing to admit to on a bike with a notorious reputation for cracked headtubes... :shock:
