Archival Field Trip - Alex Singer (Paris)
Last August, post Paris-Brest-Paris, we had the pleasure of visiting the Alex Singer shop on 53, Rue de Victor Hugo, in northwest Paris.

Vintage and modern bikes share the same floor space. A side showroom is filled with deadstock cycling shoes and wool jerseys - all in their original packaging. Since I'm set for bikes, I limited my purchases to a few Alex Singer caps and a fetching leather style pouch. Here are some snap views to round out my report:

Very cool, thanks for sharing. Shops like this are treasures that are disappearing all too quickly.
