Vélo Express

Adrian K. Sanders writing for I V Y paris

The last time I recommended a bike shop, things seemed all good. Vintage Vélo gave me an amazing deal on a truly classic bike, a 1949 Peugeot in fantastic condition.

Apparently, this was more of a fluke than a reflection of their good service.
At least three different people I've heard from have had unpleasant experiences, with some complaining that the bikes they received were downright dangerous.

Since then I've found a place that is extremely reliable, and a little less flashy. Vélo Express on Daumesnil near Gare de Lyon is just a good old fashioned bike shop, where you can find cheap bikes just like at Vintage Vélo, only with a three month garantie and a bike that works right out the door.
