Pretty full on build. Almost worth the BIN.

Wonder how this compares to Pete's? Does it have the unusual spacing etc. or is it a lter model?

My guess would be later because of the decals on the rear stay, the standard rear hub and the later Mani II fork legs front and rear, and he does say in the description Hand Made in USA Answer Manitou System FS – Doug Bradbury Designed (19”) so from the parts it's probably a 1992/93 early Answer one

Nice build, if only he could find the original Grafton brakes to go with those levers!

they had big head tubes on these babies didn't they? I sometimes think of myself as a 17/18/19" frame rider dependant on manufacturer but that does look large.
