Kids Folding Motobeccane Single Speed Bicycle
This is a childs bicycle which has a great easy to use folding mechanism in the centre of the frame which allows the bike to be stored very easily. It is a single speed bike with a lovely brown leather seat. A great first girls bicycle.
Gitane Mens 10 speed Racer
Again, we like to think that all our stock speaks for itself, as you can see. Here we have a Gitane 10 speed racing bike. It is has a lightweight alloy frame and is a great ride. Over the years the bike has managed to retain the intensity of its electric blue colour, which gives the bike headturning qualities. One of our favourites!
Raleigh Fixed Gear Conversion Project
Great project for anyone looking to create a fixed gear or single speed training bike. We can undertake this work if we are given your required gear ratio etc.
A classic british steel tube frame with lightweight aluminium bars.

The Collection
We have been scouring the south of France for the last few months, from Toulouse to the foothills of the Pyrenees, armed only with a brick of Lucky Strikes and a beaten up Renault 4...
Having trawled through the deepest catacombs of forgotten brocantes, and use of poorly assembled sentences in the lowest quality pigeon French, we have managed to source the initial gems of our aged bicycle collection.
We have men's, women's and children's bicycles, ranging from the 1940s to the late 70s, with a variety of well known and lesser known manufacturers marks.
These include:
We shall keep you posted on the progress of our company's search, please feel free to post if you have an interest in ordering any of the above, and we would be delighted to keep our eyes peeled for any particular models you desire.
A full and eclectic catalogue of stock photographs and details will follow in the next few days/weeks, with frequent updates.
