White MountainBik - (Graphite Technology - Aegis)

24pouces

BoTM Triple Crown
BoTM Winner
rBotM Winner
PoTM Winner
Another carbon fiber bike and… still white
Graphite Technology first worked for Trek with its near OCLV technology : every parts were mold (front triangle, stays …) and sticked. Didier Louis imported them in France in the end of 1990 and bought the society. He probably sold it some years after and MountainBik became Aegis…
for knowing more about that frame : http://www.aegisbicycles.com/the-aegis-bicycle-story/ :D

The frameset is built with Mavic groupo (Crank, derailleurs, seat post…) and Paris Gao Dakar wheels got some nice Wolber Chamonix tires. For a french building, I have found some CLB Neptun3 brake levers but I couldn't found the calipers. But CLB made the first New success Sachs cantilevers and, for completing the bike, I choose some Look mtb pedals…
For more comfort; A swiss barflex

Re:

Wow Pierre, that looks great! What fork is that?

I'm a big Aegis fan having owned six or so frames, including one identical to yours. It's in the project pile.
 
Re:

The fork is original aluminum Sakae Litage resprayed in the color of the frame :D
First MountainBik frame got internal derailleur cable routing like Klein.
That white is around 92





I'm working on a full carbon bike with the same frame

Yep, mine has full internal routing. Identical bike to the one in the MBA test.
 
Yet another beauty Pierre. Nice work sourcing all that Mavic kit
 
Have you really scratched your name into the chainstay paint? :facepalm:
Awesome frame though.
 
Yup, i know... :facepalm:
But, i was a kid - that was about 27 years ago now. ;)
 
Thanks for this - inspirational and gave me a heads up on the brake levers
I’m Collecting all French parts for a all French build
