well judging by my experience more of the younger crowd ( STUDENTS) in Toronto prefer an older 10 speed rather than a mountain bike, mtb are very hard to sell but the older 10 speeds fly out the door like no tomorrow, that`s if they`re tuned up and priced right, people ( University students) want to be mobile and don`t want those mtb anchor bikes with thick tires.
When ever I visit TO Thats what I see alot of, C&V bikes chained up all over the place , fixies, single speeds and originals, I drive my wife crazy,
hey look a peugeot.
Hey look a bianchi
Hey look a miele
She generally rolles her eyes LOL

But she still manages to score bikes here and there for me
The last one she got was an old CCM ladies bike with a basket of coarse and a Venture road bike.
