The brands we work with

At L'Hirondelle Bike Shop in Meppel, every brand earns its place. We choose makers for the quality of their engineering, the honesty of their design and the way their products hold up over years of daily riding. Many of them are family companies or specialists in a single craft, and most can be seen, touched and tried in our shop on the Kruisstraat.
