UDH dropouts for the win
These dropouts are compatible with Sram's Universal Derailleur Hanger, the new Transmission, and every other drivetrain on the market.
More water for more miles
The offset bosses on the seat tube allow you to install a water bottle cage without interfering with your long dropper post.
Serve and protect
The externally-routed lines make maintenance a breeze. A custom 3d-printed housing guide protects the frame and lines from damage.

How fast can I get my hands on a Manifesto?
My goal is to get you a frameset within 12 weeks of your deposit. Full builds may take longer depending on parts availability.
What are my color options?
- White frame with black decals
- Manzanita red frame with light green decals
Can I get the frame custom painted?
Yes you can. Contact me for pricing and turnaround time.
What is the return policy?
All manifesto frames are made to order, one-at-a-time in my workshop. Frames and complete bike orders are final. I do not offer refunds or returns.
What is the warranty?
I use only the best tubing and raw materials for making your frame, and I stand by my work. If you are the original owner, Manzanita Cycles offers a lifetime warranty on all Manzanita-made products that fail due to a materials or manufacturing defect.
If you crash, abuse, modify, or damage your Manzanita product, or if you install parts incorrectly, use incompatible parts, or fail to do proper maintenance on your bike, then it will no longer be covered by the warranty. Any paint and graphics are also not covered.
If you have a problem with a component not made by Manzanita Cycles, it's best to contact the component manufacturer for support. However, if you're having trouble getting traction, let me know and I'll try to help out.
What brake adapter do I need?
Make sure you choose a rear, IS to post mount adapter for the rotor size you plan to run.
Can I run a front derailleur?
No, the bike frame is optimized for 1x drivetrains.
Can I run 650b wheels?
The frame is designed around the height of a 29er wheel with 2.4" tires. Running 650b wheels will make your bike too low to the ground, resulting in frequent pedal strikes.
Can I over/under fork the frame?
The bike is designed for 130mm travel forks. Running a longer fork will void the warranty. But you can run a 120mm fork no problem. It'll make the head tube and seat tube angles about a half degree steeper.
Is shipping included in the price?
I typically use UPS to ship your bike with insurance to cover its replacement in case of theft or damage. Shipping to a US destination starts at $75 for a frame. Framesets or complete bikes will be more.
I'm also happy to ship to international destinations. But please note that shipping fees, import fees, and import taxes can get very expensive.
You can also pick up the bike from Manzanita Cycles World Headquarters if you live near Reno.
The final feeling when you get to ride the bike is pure satisfaction...
