Alright, so RideMonkey didnt let me down lie pink bike did when i asked abotu the brakes, so i ahve another question that pinkbike is confusing me on
The Diference between the 2003 Manitou Dorado, Red Vs. Blue.

So i own the Blue Dorado, from 03. everyone says the best fork ever made is the 03 dorado, but usualy you see the pro's with the red ones, is theyre a technical difference between the red or the blue? because the blue one is cheaper so theyre must be someting different...

Thanks

different sticker kit.

You usually got to choose colour when purchased.

yeah, i think 04 was when red had 180mm and blue had 200mm, but that may have just been coincidental.

The x-works were the only 200mm forks and they sucked arse. Dorados have always been 7"

Your a horrible speller!

-2002, they were red and they were new.
-2003, they were red and came stock blue on the Giant bikes, both were 7"
-2004, I think they were still red but came blue on the Giant bikes with x-works insides and 8" travel
-2005, not sure but they're just a little over 7" of travel.

In the end, if you're comparing 7" Dorados, one blue one red, they're the same.
