^yep. 24 bikes was out of quebec, canada (tho bikes were built offshore). i had a couple letoys. or 3, actually. 1 broke, the second was stolen. this was #3:

like all the "hardcore" hardtails of the era, it had shit (for going fast) steep / short geometry, but was pretty stout (for the time).

it was illegal to ride any of these hardtails without camo cargo shorts on...

1) That is an extremely green kitchen
B) I used to work with a guy who had a Le Toy with a Monster T, 24x3.0 Nokians and Gustaves, so, so heavy. It was a silly bike, but kinda fun to just ram things on

I have the Monster T off that thing, always wanted to turn it into a bar stool, but if somebody is looking to build a super sick-gnar early aughts hardtail, I've got you covered

24 Bicycles Porn King had a weird seat angle like that..

Bingo! I vaguely recalled a model called "le toy", but couldn't remember the brand.

I'm in the process of rebuilding my og Sovereign right now. Turning it back into a fun street/jump bike. I owned a DOC in the past as well as a Doberman ... loved that thing.

And interestingly, Evil Imperials were built by Devinci... in Quebec!

I thought they were out of Toulouse, France? Lots of friends had Pornkings or Letoy. Julien Meunier was pretty sick back then.

I also thought they were based in France (and not Canada/Quebec). Were they based in Quebec, I'd fully expect to see way more of them. I don't think I've seen a single one here.
