Alex Singer Shop in Paris

We were fortunate to be able to visit the Alex Singer shop in Paris when we were there for Paris-Brest-Paris in 2011. Even got to check out the back of the shop, which was overflowing with stacks of parts and an amazing assortment of Singer and other bicycles.

For those who can't make it to Paris, here's an interesting video from French TV. It's only in French (no subtitles), but you can learn a lot just from watching.


Enjoy!

Update! Couple of photos from my visit to Alex Singer:

Possible Trade: My Richard Sachs for Your René Herse or Alex Singer

Thought I would throw out this idea--I'm interested in acquiring a René Herse or Alex Singer randonneuring bicycle, and if you have one I would be open to trading my near-mint-condition Richard Sachs for your bicycle.
You can find lots of detailed photos of my Sachs here. Color is the super-bright Sachs team red with creme panels and yellow details (the photo above doesn't do it justice).
With a few exceptions, the bike is the same as shown above. The crankset is now a Chorus carbon UltraTorque, wheels are Khamsin G3s, and the saddle is a Brooks B17 Titanium. Everything is in excellent mechanical condition, ready to ride and enjoy. I can of course send any interested party the full particulars.
My Sachs is a 57cm. Your bike (if you're interested in trading) would have to be the same size or nearly so.
I'm not interested in trading frames--I'm looking for a complete bike, ready to ride a brevet series. An older bike would be OK, so long as it's not a museum piece that wouldn't be up to the stress of riding long distances.
So ... If you happen to have a Herse or Singer and would be interested in considering a trade, let's talk. I can be reached at campyonlyguy [at] me [dot] com.
