We give explicit construction of vertex-transitive tight triangulations of d-manifolds for . More explicitly, for each , we construct two -vertex neighborly triangulated d-manifolds whose vertex-links are stacked spheres. The only other non-trivial series of such tight triangulated manifolds currently known is the series of non-simply connected triangulated d-manifolds with vertices constructed by K¨¹hnel. The manifolds we construct are strongly minimal. For , they are also tight neighborly as defined by Lutz, Sulanke and Swartz. Like K¨¹hnel?s complexes, our manifolds are orientable in even dimensions and non-orientable in odd dimensions.
