VTT français? French MTBs / Components / Info / Pics etc.

[ibbz]

Apart from Look, Sunn and Peugeot - are there any other former makers of high quality MTB frames from the 90ies?

Cheers

Edit.
After the excellent contributions

It’d be nice to see any French MTB’s - post info and appreciation
And nice pictures - especially in the beautiful French countryside

And FRENCH COMPONENTS - Including Sunn Look and Peugeot!!

Re: Any other french MTB brands ?

some bikes in this topic might give some inspiration: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=301146
also, don't forget MBK. not really high end in the 90s, not sure about their models and their era which was attractive for me is something like 1988-1990, but there might be some nice bikes.

oh, and that Gilles Berthoud is like one of the nicest bikes I have seen, like ever.

Now that is a real beauty, I am a fan of Peugeots, although I'm biased a bit since I have a grisley teamline
