Hey from Paris!

Hello all,

I am new to the forms and a new arrival here in Paris (originally from Canada). Initially I am looking for a few tips on buying second hand bikes and also hoping to learn a bit more about bike repair and customization.

!

Cheers,

Sam

Bikes: Bikes??? Thought this was social media?!?

Vintage French bikes with their differences of some components and threading make a 'fine' learning experience. But those bikes date to the early 80's and older.

Welcome to Bike Forums.

Enjoy Paris.

Welcome Sam. If the Giro and Le Tour are actually cancelled, you may be able to get a good deal on a pro tour bike at a good price. This is not really a joke.
