Yup I'm with Jan and Lou

I picked up my Jean Brun http://groups.msn.com/Mtb613/mybikeslately.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=777 (Swiss made by Cilo to Jean Brun's specs) for 300 bucks canadian (what 200 bucks american)

Not full NR but the frame is db 531 tubes and stays

NR front and rear mechs, nice DiaCompe GranSport levers and brakes, SR laprade crank and seatpost, Record hubs laced to brand new MA40's Fit's me beautifully

300 bucks is less than I paid for my crank on my MTB! http://groups.msn.com/Mtb613/mybikeslately.msnw?action=ShowPhoto&PhotoID=679
