leo Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 People living in the Charente Maritime/Royan area of France what is the cheapest price you can pick up a bike for, or if anyone knows of a place that sells bikes second hand or new that would be even better.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cendrillon Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 In Saintes there is a cycle shop called Groleaux (think that's the name) near the old hospital. They sell good second-hand bikes and also delivered ours to our house for us FOC. I am sure there must be a cycle shop near to RoyanI also bought one very cheaply at a Brocante but then spent quite a lot having it done-up[blink] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 In the summer, the supermarkets often sell them. They look fine to me, 18 gears, etc.Cheap as chips; I think under €100 but can't remember the exact price as I wasn't looking for a bike myself.

Pierre ZFP Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Decathlon stores are about to have one of their 'Trocathlon' events starting on 13th March. You can pick up some good stuff at knock down prices. Be wary of the €100 euro bikes. You will forever be cursing the gears and brakes on them.
