The Urbane cyclist is here in Toronto. They're the bike shop I deal with pretty much exclusively as they're one of the few shops that deal with fixies in Toronto.

If you have specific questions about the frame, the best person at the shop to ask is Carey, the mechanic (there is a Carey who works the retail end as well). He also builds frames so he's knowledgeable about frame stuff. All the Urbanite bikes are built to custom specs, I think in Taiwan. My partner has one of the touring bikes and she is totally in love with it. I've been eyeing this frame as well, but have been holding out for a lucky find of some inexpensive old italian iron. Because I keep getting sniped on ebay, if I hadn't soaked a whack of cash into a three week bike trip, I'd be lining up this frame too

I go down there too reqularly, so if you have any specific questions, PM me and I'd be happy to pass them along.

Cheers

Cam
