    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.

    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.

  9. Answer had a frame with dual shocks You know Manitou.

    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.
