It's an entry level touring bike built in Canada by Procycle
I seem to remember something about Procycle, but there is no mention of it on mine.

I just looked at mine again. A sticker in the bottom of the seat tube carries this, and being from Canada, it reads both in French and English according to law.

On the TT: Serie COLLECTION TRIATHLON DESIGN PS20 This is followed by a stick-man series of little pics showing a swimmer, a cyclist and a runner.

From what I can tell, the PS28 was very similar, but was an upgrade in that it had a lot of Shimano 105 on it instead of the lower ranked stuff like Exage.

My impression is that that these frames — yours and mine — were really quite good. They were entry level only in as much as the stuff that was bolted onto them was of a lower rank.

Curiously, the serial number on mine is stamped on the non-drive side of the seat tube — 8H63434. There are no marks on the BB shell.

I've really taken quite a shine to this frame. As I said above, it rings like a clear bell all the way through the frame — and no matter where you strike it ... the stays ... even the head tube with the head stock races still pressed in!

I am glad to be building it for my boy. I only hope that he does not outgrow it before I get it completed.
