Services.
Available throughout mainland France. STARTING JULY 1ST, 2026.
Choose well, fit well, ride well.
Two independent services designed to help you find the right bicycle, and enjoy it under the best possible conditions.
Our services.
LE BON VÉLO
One answer. Yours.
You asked the question in a Facebook group. You received fourteen different answers, a debate about Shimano 105 versus SRAM Rival, and three people telling you that your budget isn’t enough.
Two weeks later, you still don’t know which bicycle to buy.
That’s exactly why Le Bon Vélo exists.
One conversation. One analysis. One recommendation.
Not a forum. Not a generic comparison. Not the opinion of someone trying to sell you their own bike.
We take the time to understand how you ride, where you ride, your budget, and your constraints, and we provide a clear, well-reasoned recommendation tailored to you.
Gravel, road, all-road, touring, sporty hybrids new or used, all brands.
Available in mainland France only.
BIKE FITTING
The right position for you.
Whether you’ve just bought a new bike or you’ve been riding for years with persistent discomfort, a complete bike fit changes everything.
In partnership with BikeDoctor, a leading bike fitting specialist based in Nice, France, we offer a comprehensive assessment of your position on the bike.
The goal: improve efficiency, prevent pain, and make your riding experience better for the long term.
This service is open to all cyclists, whether you’re a Royal Asport Cycleworks customer or not.
Available in Nice, France. By appointment only.

WHY PAY FOR ADVICE?
Because making the wrong choice often costs much more than good guidance.
A poorly chosen bike ends up sitting in the garage. Or it requires unexpected modifications. Or it simply never makes you want to ride.
Le Bon Vélo saves you time, prevents expensive mistakes, and turns your budget into genuine enjoyment.
We don’t add one more opinion to the pile. We provide a personalized, structured, and well-reasoned analysis.
Why this service exists.
01 —
Buying has never been easier.
Bike shops, online retailers, used listings, Facebook marketplace: the access to bicycles has never been more immediate.
02 —
Choosing has never been so confusing.
Facebook groups, forums, videos, and reviews generate dozens of relevant and contradictory opinions within hours. The person asking the question walks away with fifteen different answers and fifteen times more decision anxiety.
03 —
Clarity saves time and money.
Le Bon Vélo sorts through the noise and focuses only on what truly matters for you.
How it works.
Initial conversation
You tell us about your riding, your budget, your doubts, the bikes you’ve identified, and what you’re looking for with your next bicycle.
In some cases, quick guidance is enough. In others, your project deserves a deeper analysis. We’ll tell you honestly.
Personalized study
Together, we establish a clear specification sheet: bike type, budget, geometry, size, drivetrain, braking system, wheels, tires, and future upgrade potential.
At the end, you’ll know exactly what to look for, what to avoid, and why.
Purchase support
If you’d like support through the final decision, we compare offers, verify sizing, identify weaknesses, and spot opportunities, whether it’s a used listing, an online model, or a frame we distribute directly.
Our approach.
Every cyclist is different. Every project deserves a tailored answer.
We take the time to understand your riding, your goals, your terrain, your budget, and your constraints so we can recommend the bike that will support you for the long term.
Our priority is to guide you toward the most relevant solution, so your investment turns into miles, discoveries, and the simple pleasure of riding.

The bikes covered.
Le Bon Vélo mainly covers complete bicycles available on the market in standard sizes and traditional builds.

- Allroad
- Touring
- Sporty hybrid
- Used bikes
The right level of support.
Le Bon Vélo focuses on complete bicycles available in standard sizes and mounts. If your project goes beyond that, we’ll direct you toward the right solution within Royal Asport Cycleworks.
Custom steel frames built around a rider, a specific geometry, or a particular use.
Carbon and titanium frames for gravel, bikepacking, and ultra-cycling.
Steel frames for touring, bikepacking, and everyday riding.
Steel frames (dismantable in option) for lightpacking and lightweight touring.
BIKE FITTING • WITH BIKEDOCTOR
The right position. From day one.
An incorrect riding position causes discomfort, reduces efficiency, and eventually discourages you from riding altogether. It is often the least visible - and the most underestimated - problem.
With our partner BikeDoctor in Nice, we offer a complete bike fitting service performed by a specialist recognized in his field.
What the BikeDoctor fitting includes:
- Complete biomechanical assessment
- Precise adjustments tailored to your body and riding style
- Prevention of pain: knees, back, neck, wrists
- Improved comfort and pedaling efficiency
- Written session report
Who is it for? All cyclists - beginners and experienced riders alike, whether you ride road, gravel, hybrid, or triathlon bikes. Royal Asport Cycleworks customers or not.
Where? BikeDoctor, Nice, France. By appointment only.
The right bike is the one that makes you want to ride tomorrow morning.
EXPERTISE BUILT IN THE REAL WORLD
Royal Asport Cycleworks was born in the Pyrenees. We design, assemble, restore, and ride bicycles.
We organize cycling experiences, work with respected partners in France, Spain, and the United States, and support cyclists with widely different profiles - from occasional touring riders to competitive gravel racers.
This diversity allows us to approach a cycling project as a whole: not through trends, not through marketing claims - but simply through real-world use.
The right bike isn’t the lightest, the fastest, or the most expensive. It’s the one that fits your riding. The one that respects your budget. The one that makes you want to go out and ride tomorrow morning.
