About us
Claude Laforest, Founder of Lafo Bikes: "Hi there, fellow cycling enthusiasts! My journey with cycling dates back a long way. I actually started by selling overstock from local bike shops as a hobby back in 2004. Before even stepping into the world of selling, I was already an ardent follower of the Tour de France and various races worldwide, cheering on athletes like Greg Lemond, Laurent Fignon, Pedro Delgado, and Sean Kelly."
"I soon realized that there was a strong demand for top-notch bike parts, bicycles, and framesets on the web. This realization inspired me to create my very own bike shop. Prior to this venture, I had the privilege of working in the bike industry for many years, building valuable connections that now enable me to secure the best deals for fellow cyclists who prioritize both quality and affordability."
Our Journey of Transformation: From High End Bike Discount to LafoBikes
LafoBikes has come a long way since its inception in 2015 as "High End Bike Discount." What began as a humble venture with a focus on offering top-tier cycling products at discounted prices has evolved into something much more profound. In 2019, we embarked on an exciting journey of rebranding, embracing the name "LafoBikes." This change wasn't just about a new identity; it marked the dawn of a fresh era. With "LafoBikes," we've embraced a name that encapsulates our passion, values, and commitment to providing exceptional cycling experiences.
This transformation allowed us to transcend our initial concept, expand our horizons, and welcome cycling enthusiasts from all walks of life into our vibrant community. We're thrilled to stand where we are today – an authorized Colnago, Chapter2 & Pinarello dealer, sources of exclusive bike products, and a place for cyclists seeking not only the finest gear but also a sense of belonging in the ever-inspiring world of cycling.
"LafoBikes.com emerged from our collective dream to establish a haven where cyclists of all levels could discover their ideal ride. It's not just a business endeavor; it's a journey we're passionate about. Our team lives and breathes bikes, and we're here to share that passion with you."
Claude Laforest, Founder of Lafo Bikes: "At Lafo Bikes, we're genuinely excited to offer you a curated selection of exceptional products – the very ones we'd love to ride ourselves. We're constantly on the lookout for the latest and greatest, so be sure to check back often to see what new gems we've uncovered for you!"
"Buying a new bike can be as challenging as buying a new car, if not more so. That's why I'm here to offer my assistance. If you have questions about any of the brands or products in our store, don't hesitate to reach out. You can chat with me using our live chat feature, or connect directly via phone or email. Assisting you is always a pleasure!"
"Keep pedaling, Claude Laforest Passionate Cyclist & Founder of Lafo Bikes"
P.S. Even though we are a Canadian business, 85% of our business is in the US and we are now proud to announce that now we have a warehouse in the US in Champlain, NY to serve better our US customers.
