Hi, I run a small cycling related thing in central France. I need to know more about bike building etc since our local shop closed. Nearest one is now 25 miles away.

Is there anyone with 'road bike' building skills that could come and show me the ropes? The deal is you get free accom' and meals for the period. I only ask for 3-4 hours in the mornings so that you can get out on your bike in the avo' and see this beautiful rolling green countryside. I will join you on one or two rides.

We are in central France. I am looking at dates twixt March 26th-April 10th.

I am at present building a new 320 sq foot workshop in the old barn. Heated, double galzed, tea-coffee, music and all this in a hamlet where we are literally surrounded by trees and feilds. Only one other house is here.

A good oppertunity to exchange your shills for a free week away.

Thanks for reading this.

    Where abouts are you Rouleur?
    I'm in Paris and there are a few expats here who ride together both here and else where in the country. Maybe some of them would be interested in your 'cycling related thing' especially if your in a nice area.
    As for your request, I've been building my own bikes for 30 years but I'm not a shop trained expert, but if I'm ever passing............................and I have a English mate near Limoge that I see a bit, is that anywhere near you?
    BTW it sounds like you have found the perfect life!
