Where is this bike from? Carbon manganese tubing is usually less expensive, heavier, and less strong than chromoly tubing. There are some nice manganese tubesets, like Reynolds 531, but this looks like a heavier bike from the 1980s

You are right, from the 80s.This was my first mountain bike. My dad gave it to me when I was 13. Found it this summer when I was back in Spain and decided to bring it here and maybe give it a second life.Vipch was a Spanish bike company that sold bikes briefly in the 80s. There road bikes where supposed to be good quality, I can’t find any info on their mountain bikes. Frame is 3.3kg.
