A blast from the past, NOS Mantis Flying V!

At the time I remember seeing this in the American MTB magazine catalogues, I had no idea what it looked like because there was no internet!
It was expensive then if I recall correctly.

Upon further inspection, the seller has loads of other vintage bikes.
Gawd it's like a time warp / museum in there.

Wow.. it’s amazing how much effort the seller made to both spend heavily on rare parts and simultaneously display absolutely zero taste in his build..

Lovely frame though..

I love Mantis, but that’s not pretty.

I don't suppose anyone knows where I could get a display stand like that or even what the brand name of it is?
