I'm looking forward to working on it though. I've never worked on a FS bike.
Tim - if you need a fork for it, I have one for sale in the buy and sell at a great price - 2001 Manitou X-Vert Air with TPC+.BikeGeek said:No pics, but I picked up that free Specialized FSR the other day. It needs work. The fork is so stiff it might as well be rigid, the shock is really squishy, the cables are all stretched out, the cranks, BB, and rings are shot.
Why the switch to the romic? and how much do you think your bike weighs? Is it the 5" version of the Hollowpoint?-BB- said:
Hollowpoint... Now with a Romic and 125RL, Ti bars and seatpost.
Sure did, but I have access to a lot of non-production lighweight parts that I test for Stan. If I had to pay full price ... I wouldn't.xbluethunderx said:You got a Loco-Moto down to under 25? Nice...Me want Racer-X 100
Thanks Mark, I'll keep that in mind. I want to tear this fork apart to see what's up with it before I buy another.MMcG said:Tim - if you need a fork for it, I have one for sale in the buy and sell at a great price - 2001 Manitou X-Vert Air with TPC+.
Yeah, Mark I'm looking at the Motolite - I think I pm'ed my demo days review to you at some point. The first 2 production runs are already sold out to dealers and individuals so it will now be at least March/April time frame until they have any for sale again. I really like the bike but I want mine anodized, not powdercoat which is my only hang up about it.MMcG said:
It's a Manitou, not sure of the model. It has a sticker that reads "Pro" and another with the Specialized logo with "LT" under it, then "Long Travel" under that. Was the "Pro" an old Manitou model?MMcG said:
Specs and weight?Carbon Fetish said:I just finished it yesterday. I can't wait until the weekend to ride it!
It's a medium frame with full 756 XT kit besides the deore discs and the XTR rear derailleur. I'm planing on putting on some XT discs and some tubeless wheels in the near future . The bike, with some WTB XC 2.1 tires, came out to be about 29 lbs. I'm guessing it weighs about 31 with these fatty Kenda tires.pixelninja said:
It's a 2003. The 2004's have a few changes. They reconfigured part of the rear triangle for more tire clearance.MMcG said:

:heart: ....30 lbs.
On the scale today for the first time. Not so light - 32 lb.ROCKLAND said:
Weight? I have no idea. Never weighed it.
Specs to follow.
Oh, I've never worried about the weightgenpowell71 said:
. Never even weighed untill the post in this thread. I've beat the snot out of mine, it's held up under my 195lb carcass pretty well. Light weight bikes need not apply
which model Nicolai is that and is that a horst link I see? How does that RS shock perform? seems out of place on a Nicolai but hey if it works it's all good.Ridemonkey said:
