Marque Menet

I am watching the progress of this bike . This is the first Menet bike l have come across and it seems to be attracting a lot of attention on ebay. Does anyone have an opinion about these bikes.http://www.ebay.fr/itm/391773705742?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT:cuppa:

Never heard of Menet. Looks like an older frame updated with modern gear. Other than that can't really help. Will likely go for a lot more than the current price.

Hmm, the only thing l have found out is that Menet is a small company with a longish history and they are based just over the border in Belgium.
Not a lot to go on really !

Yet another big frame that would fit me. What is it with steel frames, did the big ones survive better than the little ones?

Here's the history of the company

Thank you for the link, these people are the real thing by the sound of it and they certainly deal in some top of the range bikes.
I can't imagine that their own brand bikes are in any way inferior. In fact its my understanding that they buy their frames from top quality makers and then finish them to their own spec. Maybe there were more big frames built than small ones ....so more are still around !
