Sorry guys. For more detail I will be in Nice, close to the center of town for the first 5 months then up to Paris.
Thanks for all the suggestions, I would be buying there to save costs then selling before coming home. Since the case + air fees both ways would be $500.. so as long as I can get out of the used bike for less than that I would consider it worth it.
I'll check the sites listed! And anymore comments are appreciated!
Also, yes I can handle myself in city traffic
And oui, je parle un peu Français.
