Hi Everyone
To answer a few questions:-
1, No I don't know anything about the Djerba, had never even heard of them until Bart offered this one for Karma (Big thumbs up for that ). Have tried searching the net but keep on running into dead ends. From what I can see of the one Bart has in the ad it looks pretty average/mid range maybe BITD.
2, I have to say there is one thing that has made me smile above all else about this bike and that is the tubing sticker, have never seen one like it before and it is great. It reads CRMO completely handbuilt. How is that
3, This is no lightweight but from the little I have ridden it it handles very sweetly, so just like myself it is built for comfort not for speed

Hi Marc,
I have an old dutch catalogue from Djerba from 1991. I think it is the first year that Djerba was on sale over here. According to the catalogue (without the e-stay Extreme) Djerba is a brand of FTC Heemstede. Cannot find anything about this company though :cry: .
The top bike of 1991 was the Djerba Conquest with Deore LX group, Araya rims, Avocet saddle, Onza barends and tyres!! It was a nice looking bike!
I will try to scan the catalogue soon.
Cheers,
Bart
