I've decided from now on that everytime I buy some new bike stuff that I have to clear out some of the older stuff , as I'm starting to amass a shed full of 'spares'. As I bought some forks this week here's my first (of probably many) clear out.
2005 Manitou Minute - This is not a normal Minute as I had Dave at Stendec remove the SPV damping and replace it with a custom shim stack, so now it's a plush feeling air fork with 130mm of travel. It weighs less than 4lbs (I think they are 3.7lbs) and the steerer is 210mm. The fork had a service not long before it got replaced and took up residence in the shed. Therefore the bushings, seals and oils are less than 50 miles old, infact the bushings are probably still bedding in. There's the normal marks from cable rub, etc that you'd expect on a fork of this age, but nothing that affects performance.

Fox Float R rear shock - The shock is 165mm eye to eye and has propedal damping. I can't tell you anymore about it than that. I bought this shock 2nd hand to do up an old frame but never got round to doing it so I've never used the shock at all.

Fizik Gobi saddle - Used once, didn't get on with my arse. Ti rails. Cheapest I've seen them for online is £60.

Bontrager Inform RL saddle 154mm width - Very light saddle (lighter than the Gobi) and very comfy. Hollow stainless steel rails. I bought it to go on a bike that I was going to put together but never got round to. The cheapest online price is £45.

Kona Project 2 forks - Axle to crown 420mm, 200mm steerer, disc only. Lovely, twangy steel fork. A couple of tiny stone chips to the paint, but nothing to worry about though.
