Okay, I'm trying to remember the junk on this nightmare rig*...

I think it was:

Stem: Kore B52 50mm
Headset: Chris King 1.125" Red Ano [with special Headshok reducers]
Bars: ? [bead-blasted blue ano, something from Kore, i think]
Brakes: Magura Gustav M [first generation - ceramic coated floating disks]
Frame: Cannondale SuperV-2000
Swingarm: V-SL 120mm (slightly longer travel than stock)
Shock: Helix Pro
Cranks: Magic Motorcycle/Coda 175mm w/rings
BB: Magic Moto/Coda whatever that fit
Wheels: Spinergy Rev-X Rox Disc CC (not the 'DH' ha ha ha)
RR Der: XTR 950 [methinks]
Ft Der: XT 750 [don't think the XTR fit the frame]
Forks: Judy DHO [hey, it was the early days, k?]
Seatpost: Some Titanium thing with a round clamp at the top, not Syncros
Pedals: Time Moab.

I was riding XC/Freeride on level ground with gulleys and drop-offs after work - usually Night-Rides - the waterbottle cage, Cateye nylon, held my Cateye Stadium [oh yah, me freakazoid] pointed down, while a regular helmet light from Niterider did most of the work.

Man, the money i wasted on bikes...

Had this rig about 2 yrs.

I'll try to dig up some of my others from that time period.

(Manitou FS, etc.)

Plenty o' standover height!

I think those cranks you've got on that bike are actually worth a lot of money on Ebay these days.

Bike's gone the way of the Dodo around 1999, as I recall. Gave it as a wedding gift to a buddy who'd always dreamed of a cool funky FS bike.

'course, haven't heard from him for about 6 years.

Ahhh, life.

Here's the bike i built up for the (ex)Wife...

Frame: Manitou FS (the forks in the back one)
Fork: Manitou TPC (something new-ish with the bonded crowns)
Brakes: Magura H33s.
Hubs: XTR 950 - beadblasted look. 28/32 0 i think...
Tires: likely Wildgripper Lite from Michelin - the green XC ones
RDer: XTR 900 (the original long cage with the glossy finish)
FDer: XT 750 (special band-type clamp)
Cranks: No freakin' idea.
Pedals: Shimano DX Platform
Headset: Chris King 1.25" Turquoise Ano.
Bars: Early Easton EA70 Gold Ano.

Saw one of those in the bike shop the other day - buddy was buying a new chain. He claimed to have close to 50000 miles on the thing....

Someone was talking about Coda cranks?

 

[Nobody]

They were great cranks, back in the day.

Funny thing, they were the precursor to many cranks nowadays, but no patents applied for...

dolts.

 

[reflux]

It's a shame that Manitou frame wasn't its successor. I think that frame had the 1 1/4" headtube if my memory is correct. Anyway, that frame rocked, well, the one ride I borrowed it for.

I am still running a 97 super v. Just updated a bit....

 

[Nobody]

Yeah, for some godless reason, i really liked that frame. Simple and very functional, single pivot, not urt, etc.
