2169.0. "Looking For" by MACNAS::FEENEY () Mon Jan 20 1992 07:59

Hello, 

I plan on being in the Mass. area on a business trip the week
of Feb 16th-21st. I have 2 seasons of biking and have started
to appreciate the difference in bikes. I'm in the process of
replacing my bicycle. My next purchase will have the 501 or 531
frame , 56-58 cm , Shimano Gearing etc.etc.

My question is ; What would a bicycle like this cost , second hand.   ??
		 Where (shops , ads. ) would be a good place to look. ??

Is it possible to pick up something in good condition for $500.

I also gather that it would cost about $40 to transport back to Europe.

    ....maybe better off paying the extra 150 pounds (approx ) and buying
    here.
    
BTW , I'm working out of Galway, Ireland.


Rgds,

2169.2Bike shops around Cannes?INTRN6::DIALWed Sep 02 1992 21:539
    I'm going to be in Cannes, France next week.  Can anyone recommend
    a bike shop where I could find some Mavic parts and a new French
    stem for my Peugeot PX-10?
    (I need a 80mm or so stem, and the triple conversion for a Mavic
    crank).
    
    Thanks,
    Barry

Le Cannet and Cannes are next to each other

Top Cycle 
Boulevard Wilson
Antibes

Antibes is quite close (and worth a visit) too. 
Both are very good bike shops, Top Cycles has somebody that speaks english 
(Sandy)

Give me a call if you need help, I'm in VBO (30mn from Cannes) (828-5423)

Hope this helps,
