Manitou HT circa 1993.

I bought the frame from Berkshire Cycles in Crowthorne.

It's had various builds and done a lot of miles, but in it's current "guise it's:

Mavic 521 Rims with Tioga DH 2.1 on the front with a King hub and 2.3 on the back with an XT hub.

XT rear derailleur and block, Middleburn chain rings and crank - Bear Trap pedals.

Bontrager seat post (can't remember the saddle - but I need a new one).

Rond quake shocks, Cane Creek headset, "X" stem with an Azonic bar.

Avid brake lever/s with XT V brakes, Xt rapid fire on the chainrings and an XT "thumbie" on the block.

It's a very light, very stiff bike - and I have no need to change it, other than up-grade the brakes to disks.

Having said that LaPierre makes a good FS bike, but I will never get rid of this one.
