Hi, I'll visit Paris next week and from searching the archives, I put together a list of shops that I might want to see. I was wondering if anyone had additional suggestions, or any other information for someone interested in "Paris Bike Shop Touring" next month. My interest is 50-50 randonneuring and vintage ~10-speed lightweights.
Thanx in advance,
