I remember they made a few bikes back in the mid 90's from Beryllium, one frameset was at Interbike show in the US for $32 000 USD back then.
I still have a full collection of Mountain Bike Action magazine starting 1990 - 2016, some amazing stuff was showcased in these mags over the years.
So much MTB tech came from the late 80's space technology after a lot companies found themselves without NASA contracts after the early 90's recession. Funny how more and more MTB tech is showing up in road bikes.
