Behold the 1992 Manitou FS, easily one of the most innovative bikes in our Bicycle Museum. Better still, this bike was raced and ridden by one of mountain biking's most prolific innovators, Travis Brown. 

Brown linked up with Manitou founder Doug Bradbury after the 1991 world championships in Italy. Bradbury had secured funding from his Japanese importer to organize his race team, and Brown was all-in. This partnership resulted in the subject of today's Vintage Bike Quiz, the full-suspension bike you see below.
