Default European bikes?

I'm a roadie thinking about getting into mountain biking. I've always rode Italian or French bikes with Campy or Simplex, you know, European components. Is there any European makers of mountain bikes? I know Bianchi makes a few hardtails, but does anyone else make a full suspension bike or are they all Oriental and American makers?

There's lots of European manufacturers, many of them not available in the US. Some well known ones include Merida, Orbea, Storck, Cube, On-one, Orange and Sunn.

Here's a few links:
www.orbea.com
www.sunnbikes.com
www.on-one.co.uk
www.orangebikes.co.uk
ww.cube-bike.com
