Does your bike shed look like this ?!!

Recently i recommended velorama.fr to grand bois incase he was ever looking for any french pieces. While reading a French forum a came across one of his posts with photos of his stock and it's amazing!
Here is a link to the forum where he shows some photos of what he has.

Enjoy

Mine looks a lot like that...just not that classy or quite as much stuff....or as well organized.

Wow. What a pile. The chain rings. The rims. The utter clutter. I love it! Is that a shop Dave? A private collection? Amazing indeed.

He is a local guy who collects and sells i'm not sure if it is him or his son or both that run https://www.velorama.fr/
I have only had a quick exchange with him on the forum but he seems like a great guy and i think he travels a lot finding all of this equipment.

This is a link that pops up from time to time. I'm not even sure that mine was the first.

But it's a very good think you updated the link, Davey, since it seems that the photos' locations have been updated since i posted.

I hope that's a business and "stock" as opposed to a horde (all though a very nice horde I am envious of).

Indeed, that chainwheel is insane atmo! I can't even imagine trying to get the machine moving with the chainwheel that large, even with two people...
