Just rebuilt these manitou sport forks and they are now sitting on this put together nail trail.

 

[andym999]

New project in the pipeline, to be built up with a mix of leftover bits and a modern 1x drivetrain.
Lots of stripping/sanding/polishing to come on both frame and fork.
Original stem and forks came with the frame - hanging onto those in case I want to go original in the future...

Here is my Marin bobcat trail . I purchased it a couple of years ago with intentions to rebuild . I have sx cantis and gearing just not actually started to do anything with it yet .I initially purchased because I liked the silver and blue combo

My Team Marin

 

[M477]

My polished TeamTi with XT Group - built in recent years to replicate the satin TeamTi I had in the late 90s (I had Syncros stem and mk.1 RC30 forks on that and it rode beautifully back in the day). This time I've found a Ti syncros seat post to complient it too and its a nice stable mate of a bike. My original satin team-ti I was seduced by a Kona Hot frame in stars and stripes hanging on the wall at Vince's "Recycle" shop in London back in the day and I ended up trading it (somewhat foolishly as the Hot ended up needing a refurb that Dave-Yates did for me to good effect replicating the original finish perfectly) . Fond memories and still pleased to have this one in my now slightly reduced collection (I sold a lot of my bikes during the pandemic when wages took a cut when I couldn't work for a bit)

Just finished this one. My wife bought me the frame and forks and then left me to it. I am pretty sure it is a 97 and the decals said Mount Vision.

It has XT gears, breaks and Hubs. Mavic rims, White Industries crank with original headset. I have rebuilt the original front and rear suspension and done a bit of polishing after stripping the lacquer. Club roost handlebar and grips.

As soon as it was finally completed one of my sons adopted it until he gets a new bike which means when I get it back I will probably have to start again.
