I live in NJ and have been to more than one garage sale offering Paris Sports. However, they have always looked like very low-end bikes with stamped dropouts, "gaspipe" tubing with the top of the stays often open, really ugly looking lugwork, and low-end components. I did find a Paris Sport mixte once (with these same low-end characteristics) that immediately made me think Bertin. So, were all Paris Sports fine bicycles?
