Thanks for the info. I can forget about the x300 ever being put on sale since so few were made. Really like those starways. Theres was a green one just like yours up for sale on leboncoin recently. Too far for me though. Where in France were they made may I ask?

You're right, after the accident during the official demo (stem broken, Xavier Redois hurted on his face), they stopped the production, around 20 models only exists for the X300. If you find one to buy be careful because the frame may be buckled

Managed to get a TA Zephyr crank to go with the Mavic rings - as Mavic couldn’t find me a Dakar crank set or anything. But I don’t need it so put the set on sale again

In my drawer of spare old bits I've still got this quirky French front wheel mudguard, MBK "Mud Pro-Tech". I added this to a sales thread of mine years ago and I've never seen another one. The only reference I could find to this déflecteur de boue was on an equally quirky old MBK ad: http://referentiel.nouvelobs.com/archiv ... 12_027.pdf

Do you have any starway catalogue scans?

I have a catalogue, not yet scanned. A Friend of mine have it, I will take it back and scan it when we can meet. Right now we can't travel
