Coco's Variety Store: Mafac Competition

Mafac Competition

Jon is currently working on a PX-10. A typical strip and rebuild green tag bike.

Sometimes, people will say, "That is only worth $500 on eBay!!" There is a big difference between as-found, a craigslist-style 'restoration' and Coco's green tag.

I tell people, if you are going to buy a bicycle from craigslist, don't buy anything restored.

In addition to selling and renting Linus bicycles, Coco's is engaged in the refurbishment, repair and sale of used bicycles. From the scrap iron dealer's mud puddle, we buy bikes that nobody else wants. We buy junkers, clunkers, road bikes, mountain bikes, mixtes, European bicycles, stepthrough ten speeds, heavy bikes, skip tooth relics, racing bikes, 80's splatter paint disasters, suspension bikes, track bikes, cruisers, bruisers and midnight losers.

We believe the bicycle with the greatest positive impact on the environment is a fading champion that has already served a meaningful life and is resuscitated for a second chance at glory.

When buying a new bicycle, consider making a generational purchase. A quality bicycle that is a serviceable platform, that is precious such that you will want to protect it from harm and is attractive enough to warrant maintenance. Buy a bicycle that you have a soft spot for. If it doesn't make you smile, it is the wrong bike.
