Is someone knows this mark or this bike : ALPHA
sandvik titanium made, made in canada, and I think around end of 80ies or early 90ies (beacuse the rear U brake)

beautiful bike, bizarrely I want the frame pad (that's not been put on correctly) for my cross bike, can't find a decent one of those anywhere today!

what type of bottle does that cage take :shock:

Looks a bit bent but I think it's one of those ones that takes a big supermarket bottle of mineral water - think they're called PET cages, but I may be wrong..

sorry for the fork and seatpostâ€¦
A friend from the french oldschool forum will give me this bike soonâ€¦
But some items were being sold to other forumersâ€¦.
He told the question in France about this bike and its mark "alpha".
I try in the GB forum

A large Evian, if i'm not mistaken

Before France, this bike had travelled in swisszerland !
Evian is not far

But the fram was welded in canadaâ€¦ I think, it's one of the first mountain bike built in titaniumâ€¦
I don't remember titanium mtb bike before 1990 : the first Merlin, designed by Jo Murray were built in the end of the 80iesâ€¦ But, i'm not sureâ€¦
