Yours is a '99 and correct with Answer Manitou SX Carbon.

I think I'd like to see this kept stock, as it's so close already.

Go with the carbon sx then as they are o.k some on ebay right now and I am the under bidder,I will stop bidding if you want them

Won the manitou carbon forks, have also bought a new m952 front mech, secondhand rear mech and good secondhand crankset and bottom bracket, need a few more bits yet xtr chain maybe xrt pedals if i can get some cheap enough, secondhand shock as its cheaper than £90 to get the shock serviced by mojo grips, tyres, new cables and then time to build it up again.

An update pic, think the bike looks much better with the new forks on.

 

[marin man]

Sweet
Do the forks work o.k. as I was also bidding on them and dropped out for you

 

[stewart.d.campbell]

seem ok but i just bunged them on for now as i couldnt wait to see what it looked like with matching forks as since i have owned it it has always had the blue spyder r,s.I think it looks good, thanks for not bidding
