The Manifesto is a fun-loving 130mm-travel hardtail with UDH-compatible dropouts and geo dialed for a balance of climbing efficiency and descending confidence.
Pricing
frame
$2,300
Included:
- Single color powder coat with vinyl graphics
- Wolf Tooth seat collar, headset, rear axle, derailleur hanger

Big tire energy
The Manifesto can clear 29x2.6" tires and a 34t chainring with a 52mm chainline.
UDH for the win
The dropouts are compatible with Sram's Universal Derailleur Hanger, wireless 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, while giving you the ability to add a third water bottle for those epic adventures.

Color options
My local powder coater uses powders from Prismatic Powders. There are probably thousands of colors to choose from. I can help you narrow down your choices for the powder color and graphics color.
If you're interested in doing a special paint scheme, I can send the frame to Ollie at Dark Matter Finishing for a showroom finish. It costs more and takes longer, but Ollie's work is worth it.

FAQ

How fast can I get my hands on a Manifesto?
My goal is to get you a frameset within 12-16 weeks of your deposit. Full builds may take longer depending on parts availability.
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 because it puts additional stress on the frame. But you can run a 120mm fork no problem. It'll make the head tube and seat tube angles about a half degree steeper.
What is the return policy?
All frames are made to order, one-at-a-time in my workshop. Frame set 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.
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 frameset. 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.
