Manitou 3 - 1 1/8th in good condition - £65

[jez-4-bikes-max]

Got a pair of Manitou 3s here in ace condition. Elastomers are great and responsive.

1 1/8th long headtube threaded steerer.

I have a 1 1/4 one now for the Yeti project so this is not required.

£65 plus cheapo postage

Hi, could you confirm whethere there is any play in the legs? Also, the price is a bit steep - any chanceof coming down a bit - I bought some comps from here for £25 posted, and some 4s for £35 posted, just a month ago.

Cheers

Ian

Well you've got 2 pairs already then...

True, but it seems I can never have enough of that retro stuff!

No play in the legs - these compress well too.

Could you confirm if the stantions are marked at all, and are they the black ones. Also, what is the travel?

Thanks

Stanchions have marks and wear like most Manitou 3 of this era. Shockboots cover this though.

Travel is 'about' 2" if I recall.

Cheers for the info, I've managed to get a set now. If these turn out to be duds I'll let you know.
