Similar to the one on the left but with a silly little disc mount and canti mounts also,but do your orange ones have microlube :?

And to the downhill type thing,not really me but I always wanted a pair of bitd and now I have some

As for micro-lube, some of the seemingly same model Manitous had it and some didn't, not sure why...

But I can do better than just answering those questions...

Here's the 1999 manual for the ones with canti mounts and the odd disc mount.

:? looks about right

Quite happy about that

But they are different to my catalogue :? maybe just the colour muddled me a bit

Catalogues aren't always 100% correct and some show models which then subsequently changed or they show prototypes or they are just incomplete.

Not sure how you'd accurately date them or work out whether they are prototypes or not.

Not sure myself either but they will be repainted and put on my marin for now,if I can convert my hub to bolt through or the axle to qr.....
