WELCOME to the forums. I did a tour of Nova Scotia a few years ago. Spent three days in Halifax and stopped into Dave's for some parts and repairs. They didn't have repair stands; used to hang the bikes from the ceiling using ropes and springs. Always wished I'd paid more attention to how they had that set up. I've tried to duplicate it several times but without success.
Anyway, welcome. You're in a beautiful city. Hope you'll post often.
