Never seen this bike
a completely unknown maker - Verdon !
salvaged it as an historical curiosity
probably one of the first french attempt at MTB
dated thanks to the Maillard Helicomatic rear hub from 1983.
Not even cantis but Weinmann 900 central pull calipers
uninteresting Sachs Huret derailleur and Nervar crankset - lack the style of the duopar or TA triple !
Dia compe Levers and Sachs thumbshifter
but one interesting feature
somme very nice Ambrosio Alu rims - they are 37mm wide !
with very rare Wolber Soissons tanside tyres
I guess only the seatpost is non original - the Italia Touring is probably right
Never seen such long wheelbase :shock:
