Agreed ! Well worth going for if anyone is after a set of rigids - and these are rare and light - easily repainted tooI'd love them, but not enough for the cost and hassle of getting them. If I was specifically after a set it would be worth it.

I didn't know about this set. Pretty cool. Here are some additional info I found https://www.disraeligears.co.uk/site/simplex_fun_bike_derailleur.html
So besides the Greg Lemond Titanium MTB I was linking to earlier, here are the only two other bikes "factory"-equipped with MAVIC off-road components that I could find in my archives.Just stumbled across this Greg Lemond Titanium MTB, factory-equipped with MAVIC off-road components:

I like that one, an Tracker Hi-Tech from 1991.Couldn’t turn down this pink MBK when it turned up on eBay. It’s a bit scabby so I ended up building it to be a bit of a commuter for me.
Got to love the fluro two tone paint jobs on the MBKs
