Hello,

I was wondering if you could help me. We have just been contacted to buy an Aiglon bicycle. We are a bike shop that specialises in vintage bikes but I have never come across this brand before. I have searched for hours online and can't seem to get anywhere other than the posters. Any info would be hugely appreciated. I understand this is a motorbike site but I thought you might have knowledge of the company.

Thanks so much in advance,

Meg
