A couple of things. That fork is from around 2001, 2002. Many Manitou forks from that era are not supported by Manitou. An aftermarket company on ebay makes rebuild parts for some, but not all and they are pricey if available. I have a different Manitou fork from that era that I can not rebuild because the parts are not available. If you have to replace the fork because it leaks or can not be rebuilt, that will make this a very pricey bike.
Also noted the shifters are not matched. Have you looked at what $400 can buy you in a new bike? Have you looked at a Giant ATX for $440?
Maybe someone else can add something to support this rig, but I'm not getting warm fuzzy feelings about it.
