The birth of our bikes

For our expedition, we wanted steel hand-made frames, which nowadays, are more and more difficult to get. We chose steel frames for the reason that this material is very strong and easy to repair. After having looked for steel  all around Liège pr_DSC5845ovince, several people told us to visit Armand Deroy.  Armand, is a 80 years old man. When we explained him our project, he accepted directly to build our three steel frames. Since he is born, Armand lives in a bicycle world. He has already build many frames for famous cyclists

Armand Deroy Shop has a long story, and we can see it ! The  singing of his numerous birds welcome the customers to come in .
