vlaamse, your bike is wonderfull! Manitou frame is better than a Marin.
It s more prestigious for me... :wink:
You should assembly it with Blue components like Grafton and Ringle...

La tige de selle Manitou était une Answer qui avait le même systéme de serrage que les Ringlé je crois!!??(sur la tof de Skide!)
