That's pretty decent frame and fork right there. If the fork is fixed to that travel, it definitely is a Manitou Sherman Jumper. And thats some nice piece of midschool fork mate! Just get some proper or half decent wheels and good tyres. Short stem and big enough handlebar. Some small modern seat, GOOD pedals and its full on nice capable jump bike.

Nice found
Got a Chromag Overture saddle for it and thinking of getting Chromag Contact pedals for it. I've already swapped the stem for a 50mm one I had taken off my full-suspension when I got a new stem for that bike.
I don't know if a better picture will help identify the fork better, but here's one anyways (featuring my dog in the background behind the stanchion)
It is the right hub. If you already have a 135 Hub you need to purchase a seperate axle and endcaps. HUB1009-49S - 12 Trial Axle HUB242 - 142 x 12mm endcaps.
It's almost like a rite of passage. If you've been doing this for a while, you've almost certainly used a K-Rad at some point - bought, borrowed, found. Cheap in every sense of the word. They're not great at anything but the tread is good for all-round riding.
If you can find a Specialized dealer near you and stretch the budget a little bit more for a Compound Control or Rhythm Lite, you'll get a much better tire.

Hahaha I remember my first k rads. They were too cheap and when I started I was broke as a joke. I thought they were okay, they ride everything okay, but yeah once I moved on I'll never ride them again.
I'm pretty sure compounds and rhythm lites should be on closeout, could probably get them for a good deal right now. Rhythm tires are much better than the k rad. Even used one on the rear while riding lots of dirt and it did well. For street they're money.

I feel like Holy Rollers are on the same page. Relatively cheap, heavy AF, capable of riding pretty much anything, and we've all probably owned them.
iv got the k rads ATM I feel there a tad heavy but still an OK tyre. I'm trying to get khe 26 dirt or some race kings might do khe on back and race King on front ????
