Bikes: too many too list

Once there I wanna build up a bike (I've still got my wheels, but thats it), and I need advice as to where I can buy a frame in the city. Or, if there aren't many places, please let me know so I can get something here in SF, where i know I can (although I'm assuming frames are more expensive in SF than TO).

So...all you kids who make up this ridiculously long sticky Toronto thread, please show me some love and give me the inside scoop on the Toronto fixed scene. And hell, if anyone is sellin' I'm looking to buy!

Rather than getting into any c-c or c-t type o' confusion, I'll just tell you, I'm 5'10" and like so many others, looking for a decent lugged steal frame. I don't have the money for a new Cinelli or anything like that though. think a step down from there. A used De Bernardi, an old Madison Track, etc. etc.

Thanks! and I maybe we'll pass each other on the streets in a couple months!

Oh, and PS...since this thread is so damn long, if anyone does have anything to sell, or a good lbs to recommend, please send me a private message or email me at:

PPS. I'm also looking for an apartment too if you know of any!
Nice used track framesets are getting harder and harder to find. Shops with new stuff here are fairly plentiful. Expect to pay in the $350 CAD range for a decent frameset. As for apartments...try viewit.ca. They have skads of apartments available but it helps to know what area of the city you want to locate in. This city is pretty large in area. On a good note it is a renters market at the moment so there are some pretty good deals out there if you look araound.
