Which Fork, help me decide please

[Huntso]

Still can't decide which fork to use :?

Shall I keep the Manitou 2 and replace the elastomers (if I can find a long allen key) or put the original Rigid's back on.
Both in good nick and don't suppose the ride will be much different, so all boils down to appearance

What yer reckon?

Love those Manitou forks, remember it was the 1st set of sus forks me an my mates ever saw, on some rich kid's Cannondale. The whole village rushed out an bought Raliegh activators and wondered why they didn't look as cool.

Just realised my old record deck and amplifier plus assorted videos are in the picture

Still it is a retro site I suppose

 

[South Bound]

Just about the same amount of travel and comfort, but the Manis look cool, always did!

 

[tintin40]

keep it rigid

Rigid

The Manitous do look cool, but, if you've got the proper original rigid fork then i'd stick with that.

 

[reanimation]

Depends on what ya want to do with teh bike, if ya can get em to make performance better really, but they look great!

My mate had the originals on his Orange, i was so jealous!

Amazing how similar these are to my modern White bros forks

Rigid, but keep the Manitou on the side.
