My LBS gave me an old gigantic Nishiki frame for free. In the end it was a smart move, since I got many of the parts from them, but it was still great of them. They've been very nice to a FG noobie like me and I'll be bringing my roadster to them in the future, too. (I just got hosed for $115 Can. for a &^%$ tune-up at a diff. shop).
My original LBS just around the corner burnt down, literally, two years ago, unfortunately.
Our prices for parts are ridiculous compared to the US.
