I think she's French, but she could be Spanish. I remember some girl was riding for Mondraker last year, but haven't met her (yet...). Mondraker is from Elche, in the Alicante province of Spain, on the east coast. Cheap Taiwanese bikes with a killer factory team.

Mondraker and Azonic both have their frames made at the same place. They put different stickers on them and sell them as their own brand/models.

Mondraker might spec them with longer, bigger rear shocks. That's what it always looks like to me.

if it made by the same people as azonic then they are made by Pacific Cycle....same people who own GT and build a bunch of other big name companies frames....pretty much a catalog bike.

no offence but i sense negatism from your statement.
i wonder why then people think turners, santa cruz and espaceally kona are SOO cool when they have catalogs of their own year after year. pretty much catalog frames too like Intense and Ellsworth.
foes are diff bec they fabricated.

no not that kind of catalog........think mass production, 200 plus fs frames to choose from, not pick this pick that and we will build it....straight up buy 300 and we will put your name on it kind of thing.....intense is not like that....but you are correct on most of the others.

Well, intense did catalog their M1s from day one. i remember in europe when m1s have author brand names on them and when jamis and trek used to run m1s on their racing team too. kinda cool how azonic catalog frames are very similar to intense and turner (turners had mongoose stickers when carter raced on one). i understand now, thanks.

i know in the early 90's a lot of top pro's didn't actually ride bikes built by their sponsors, as it wasn't specified in the contracts. they were clones that were (fabulously) handbuilt by some guy in california. all they were required to do was have the team paintjob and sticker kit.
