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

Any examples of lightweight French racing saddles?
 
Hello, thought I’d add to this thread after acquiring these CLB Neptune Canti brakes. It took a year to source and I didn’t think in france it would be so hard to find. Until I spotted a lot on ebay mostly junk and a nos pair within the rubbish. For a full french build these are more or less your only bet for canti brakes. Surprisingly I made all my money back selling the plastic crank caps within the lot!

Man! I had been on the look out for these and they’re as rare as hens teeth! When I was trying my french build - I was thinking Sachs but the Sachs Canti’s were Italian !
Very nice!
What’re you going to put them on? And curious to know how they perform. What’s build quality like ?
