Is this expensive? bike is in good shape with normal parts... I really liked it. What can u reccommend?
Thanks.

Looks decent for the money. Just worry why they took the photo that way around. Take someone along who knows what to look for before you buy.

That's a nice spec for the money if everything is working right.

Are the forks fitted the correct way around?

Yes. Notice the brake calliper on the left. Just a rear arch.

Manitou forks typically have a rear arch, it's designed to fool the gullible.......works to.

Have 2 Manitous in the family, and yes I've once had someone tell me my forks were on back to front.
