Scott Sportster P3 Hybrid

The SCOTT Sportster P3 hybrid bike is featured on all of the Discover France tours. They are brand new in 2008. Of note: the P3 is a superior quality all terrain bike that we call a hybrid. It is meant for the road or dirt surfaces that are relatively wide and free of objects. It is a lean 12.75 kg without extras, pretty good for an ATB or as they say in French: VTC. See The Scott website for more info.

Look 566 carbon road

The Look 566 model is brand new and featured on all of the Cycling Classics challenge tours and can be available for Discover France tours subject to availability and terrain. IMPORTANT: these carbon road bikes are built for climbing. They are expensive. Therefore, to keep them light and prevent theft, we do not provide a heavy lock! Also, they cannot carry panniers. You must keep the bike in view and locked up at the hotel each night. Pedals are not included, you bring your pedals and shoes. Of note: geometry is sloping, and is adaptable this way to more people. See full specs and details on our Cycling Classics site.

Each Look bike comes with: computer, frame pump, 2 bottle cages and bottles, saddle bag containing tire levers, spare tube, and patch kit. A helmet is also included for tour clients.
NOT included: pedals, lock. No exceptions.

RENTALS Only - see www.cyclingclassics.com/rental_bikes.php

GENERAL INFO: (for bike rental only see Cycling Classics)

You are responsible for the bikes. All hybrids and tandems come with locks. Merckx bikes do not come with locks or pedals. We cannot change stems, cranks, or cassettes. Bikes are delivered to each participant based on height and inseam. We do not "FIT" bikes like a professional bike shop does when you buy a bike. They are sized as close as possible but they remain rentals and may take some minor adjustments. The quality is top notch for rentals. Our mechanics review every bike after each rental to prepare for the next use. WHILE ON TOUR: remember that YOU must know how to fix a flat. We give you the tools, but we are not on call to fix that. We will resolve any other mechanical issues if they should arise.
