Le Croco was started in Montreal Quebec by Sandy Tvrdik, Bill Fletcher and a group of Czechoslovakian guys who lived in and around Montreal. Some of them were machinists at Air Canada. They took their unique name and logo from the legend of the Brno Dragon, a monster that terrorized people who lived along the River Svratka in Brno. It was not actually a dragon, just a big crocodile. They made some serious bikes that were sold out of their shop in Montreal, at High Park Cycles in Toronto and from a ship called BRNO Cycles in Vancouver. These bikes gained a serious reputation for strong, lightweight frames that were capable of racing against the best out of Italy and beating them! This is the only Le Croco MTB I've ever seen or heard of, it's certainly a neat bike. You have to love the vibrant paint and stunning decals! Fitted with a full Sachs 5000 MTB component group, this is an obscure bike that I think is really neat. Happy that it is finally completed after owning this bike for many years now. Now for sale. $600
