hello, first time and new bike here on retrobike !
Emery onyx 1992, tange prestige and rockshox mag20 (option)!
catalogue was suntour xc pro and ritchey logic !
Probably there is no better month for this bike than this
Two years ago I was allowed to buy this beautiful fillet brazed Gilles Berthoud from a good friend, I have changed it a little bit and now it is one of my favorite bikes
Gilles Berthoud has actually built only trekking bikes and racing bikes, but he has also built 6 MTB frame sets, one of which was this. The other 5 were years long lost, because they were sold at a trade show years ago to a dealer, but that's another story ...
The noble Frenchman was set up with a simple Shimano XT 730/5 group, so that the attachments do not detract from the beauty of the filigree frame ...
The frame and fork have been soldered together by Gilles Berthoud from Vitus Rocky spécial CrMo steel tubes. In lugged bottom bracket, the rest and the fork are fillet brazed.
That was the Frenchman and myself, we wish you a great BOTM spécial French Conection
Where's that mint Pug Black Mamba that turned up a few years ago? From memory the ano was still on the rim walls, virtually unused. Looked ace with it's black/pink paint job.
Amazing bike Lansbee !
I have to had several little frame makers in France like Gilles Berthoud, Follis, Mecacycles, Philippe… but more known for their road bikes
It's a shame for me : no french bike in my collection. Only some french mavic groupo and parts :facepalm:
