These things are just laying around in Paris
 

I swear, every Parisian has either a PX10, a Gitane TdF, a Rene Herse, or an Alex Singer from the 1970's just chilling in their garage.

Yep.

I go to 'vide-grenier' sunday morning sales in france every week and usually find an intresting old french bike for around 20 euros

I could only imagine hitting a garage sale in France or rummaging through an old barn in Italy.

I put temporary supermarket tyres on to have a test ride this morning.

I'd like a holiday to denmark to pick up bikes some day, since I'm sure i could fit 2 and a half bikes in a box for the plane ride home
