You can add Taillefer (Scrambler Yearling), Vario (No limits), Nakamura (Heavy Tool Special XTR) by Intersport and Manufrance...

Some collection there man! Rare, funky and French!
Are there build threads?

Re: VTT français? Post your French MTBs Components Info Pics etc

Components;
1. Simplex groupset 1991 (though looks similar to sachs) : https://labibleduvelocataloguessimplex. ... -1991.html
2. CLB made canti levers and brakes named neptune/saturn. I've never seen the brakes before. would like to.
3. Stronglight - cranksets, notably rockstrong. Olight headset which is still made. (Would like to see the early silver version close up)
4. Abc system who made cnc'd brakes. I just got a pair of vbrakes recently. existed between the 90's till 00's
5. Black forest who briefly made cranksets. Had a lovely twisty look.
6. Mavic whom we all know
7. Sachs. If anyone has a photo of the purple rival groupset. would be kl to see.
Think that sums it up...
edit: A) Starbar (still exist) who made quality bars and tiges de selles. XC1/2/3 in titanium too.
B) Sunn made inhouse stuff in france under "Brubz"; stems, bars etc.

Thanks for this again - invaluable for my French Look build
