eBay and Craigslist finds

I speak excellent franglais - i spent 3 years living in french ski resorts, which means i can understand a lot more than i can say

France is full of bargains - if you can be bothered trawl through this site, it is Frances biggest chain of Depot Ventes, and they had some insane bargains, along with a load of crap! They will ship within France, not sure about international - This is a link to their Bicycle stock in all thier branches:

I picked this Merier up for 70 Euros, full 531, Campag record Hubs, top of the range for the day Simplex and Stronglight parts, all it needed was a new rear tire - though i am going to fuly restore it. I also got a Peugeot Mixte for the Mrs for 15 Euros, that needed a service but not much else:

I cannot believe that Troc site; I spent 10 mins trawling through it and found some mega bargains....I must resist!!!!
