best i've found is called 'fascoop' or something. It's in rue de Sevran in the 11th. Not really track, but good road and MTB stuff. Nice people as well (rare) - they just gave me some wheel boxes to ship my wheels home.
I havn't found any tracky shops...but there's a velodrome in the Bois de Vincennes so there must be some around. I've only seen one fixie in the past year so there isn't a great market for that sort of thing i guess.

just walked past it...it's actually called franscoop and it's on rue servan.

my fix-searching experience there was pretty fruitless, as well. but i met some very heavy hitting riders who pointed me in the direction of the velodrome... which i still couldn't find. hey elementary, what's the velodrome like?

i had trouble even finding much road stuff when i lived there. everyone assumed i wanted a vtt- velo tout terrain. here's a couple of other paris threads for ya.

anyway, forget the bike store for now, get your ass on a train to germany, damnit.

i havn't ridden the velodrome here so I can't really say. Concrete track, uncovered.... they must host some decent local events but it probably isn't used for international meets.

There is really no track scene in Paris... they have the 'cipal but there are no track stores to speak of... lots of nice road bikes and reasonably good sport store bikes though. Also if you want to see some pretty Italian steel go hang out outside the hippodrome de longchamps on the weekend; theres a constant peleton of them circling around.

Cycles Laurent is the only good one I saw last time I was there.

There is a shop across the river from the hippodrome in Surenses (not track specific).
As soon as you cross the bridge it is on the left next to a bar and a laundry place.
I used to live two blocks from there.
