GrandMarqui Hello guys !
Actually there no fixed gear communauty in France, no one has a fixed gear. I and a friend fell in love with fixed gear, we're going to create bikes and sell them, also we'll practice !
Have you got tips, advices ?
Ciao
Hey,
fixed gear london ( http://www.fixedgearlondon.com ) are going on a road trip to paris this weekend for a week i think. maybe contact them. they will be able to give you some advice and you will get to check out 15 or so nice bikes.
good luck

Hey, yeah there are not many fixed gears in Paris it's mostly the couriers that use them when they're not worked.
There a fixed gear meet up every Thursday night.
I'm off to Paris tomorrow morning, :)
If any of you guys are in Paris give me a bell, I'll show you some cool places to ride around. :D -
winston Bicloune was my LBS when I lived in Paris....nice shop back then, long time ago now though....
bicloune are great. marco would look at me like i was a nut when i'd come in and not know the french names for parts, then he'd speak to me angrily in english and sort my bike out. just as i left in june i started meeting guys who rode fixed; they told me there were about 30 of them, and that was 9 months ago. surely the scene is growing. and didn't they have a big party at colette for the BFF?

Hi, Bicloune now hang a fixed gear bike in their window and while I haven't met this marco guy a bloke there called christophe said he would find me a "vrai pista" of 62cm and kit it out (basic) for €600 which isn't bad. His basement was full of frames ready to go for those who have short to normal legs. I have spotted a few people riding fixed in Paris but most looked suspiciously English. I ride my crappy old mountain bike here (paris) and my nice fixed one in London.

Hi guys.
I am from Paris, I have started riding fixed gear last summer, if you come to visit our town, you can easily spot fixed gear bikes if you stay in some areas of Paris. Our community is not as big as London's, but it's growing for sure, to the point that it raised media attention. It has been mentioned earlier but don't hesitate to contact "us" on pignonfixe.com, if you plan a trip to Paris.Rasmus, try FUSAC magazine, its' target is American, but you should find some classifieds for roomate. There might be some web site for roomate in France, try to google "collocation, paris", the thing is that you will need to understand french as the adds might not be available in English.
Cheers

ah brilliant, more folk in paris. Moved here in january. Momentum, also of this forum, is in town, too. There is some pretty regular riding going on, at least I am out on the bike a lot.

PM'd you both
also sent a message to rock'n'rollin fixie club. went on their ghost ride the other week but felt a bit out of my depth not knowing any French. was good riding though! up for riding pretty much anytime, especially at weekends as i do the 9-5 grind in Massy. Living in city centre though.
been trying to wade through pignon fixe using google translator but it's tough going. any idea where and when they meet on thursday's?

thursday - palais royale 21h http://www.pignonfixe.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=102&page=246
tuesday - palais royale again, dunno what time, keep an eye out here -- they ride to la defense through pretty heavy traffic, it seems. Not my thing. http://www.pignonfixe.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=17985&page=73 -
J'aime this thread. My g/f lives in Paris, well near Paris anyway in Meaux where the Brie comes from. Would v. much like to go live there. Need a job tho. For some reason many French peeps struggle to understand my version of French, I have no idea why. C'est la vie...
