Howdy folks.

There is a bike I am interested in on French eBay, not an expensive one but a neat one. I have mostly forgotten high school level French skills and don't have any pals there to help. Is there any known good way to get a bike from France (could be delivered to Paris) to the States? Any leads/ideas appreciated :^)
