For your suspension pleasure:
Up for sale is a mid-90's Manitou EFC suspension fork. It's pretty sweet lookin' if you ask me.
1 1/8" threadless (that's what I was told, anyway, and that's what it looked like by my crude measurement)
6 1/4" steerer tube length (I believe the tube is aluminum)
compression and rebound damping adjusters
Includes:
1 set of extra elastomers so you can tailor the ride to your preferences
1 owners manual detailing disassembly and reassembly as well as common maintenance procedures.

I love the look of this fork but cannot use it as it doesn't fit my bike.

The bad:
I can't guarantee it's performance as it's never been on my bike.
The gentleman I bought it from said it worked well and he was a small guy so i'm sure it hasn't been abused.
The rebound damping knob is non-functional but with the handy-dandy owners manual i'm sure this can be remedied.

Condition:
Good shape with usual nicks and scratches (one on the lower left leg is larger than the rest)

First $25 takes it all! I bought it for the same price so i'm just trying to break even. I would imagine that there aren't too many of these out there any more so this is a great deal for someone looking to add a little flair to a recreational rig!!!

I'll leave it up here for a couple of days before posting to craigslist.

Ahh that brings back good memories. I used to own the Manitou 3 that came out at the same time as that fork (along with the Manitou Magnum).

Anyone see that Rock Shox RS-1 that someone was running out at 24 Hours? That was pretty cool to see someone still using one.

Not to hijack the thread but I did see some older stuff. I was quite surprised to see what people were riding. I expected many more fancy bikes, but was really surprised when I saw a Pro Flex dual suspension with the rubber elastomers for suspension....:shocked: that must of been some ride. I still have one but cant ride it becasue you cant get the elastomers anymore

Didn't Noleen have a conversion kit so you could upgrage it to a spring. Does it have the Gervin Vector fork?

I'm thinking that would look pretty good on my '94 S-Works FSR.
