    I really hate to ask, and I hope it's not just me, but.....
    WTF is the guy with the blue cast doing to make his arm
    blurred. Is there something peeking out behind it?

    He's lubing the bike, silly! Those old spring shocks needed
    copious amount of slick stuff.

    joke. :-) "Heh, heh heh, he said beat."

    There's one of those at the shop down the street from me...
    They said it's probably frozen though.

    Marin made a version, huh? Manitou made their own aluminum
    frame for that model back then. I had that Mach 5 fork on
    the front. Heavy, but laterally stiff as hell. Too bad the
    seals kept blowing and the plastic compression knob at the
    top once tried to brain me. /s

    Yes, Balance and Marin licensed it from Answer/Manitou. They
    were all tight at the time so it probably didn't cost them
    much. I hope no one else licensed it.

    Awesome! I knew a guy with that Answer frame back in the
    day. He thought it was a shiznit of course, but I was
    skeptical. He kept blowing seals on those rear shocks IIRC.
