Same thing going north once you're past, say, Eglinton. North of Lawrence, forget about it.

Great great deal on a set of road wheels; I have these on my Roubaix and they are very nice and $70 is a really low price.

Phil- there's Weston too. If you're not in a hurry you could take the humber trail as far as Steeles and then go from there. Anything north of the 401 pretty much sucks by bike in my experience.

Alright, I picked up an older Miele frame from a shop by Christie and Dupont. The frame has a bit of rust around the headtube and BB shell, but for $50, it was a good deal. I need to know how I should proceed with removing the rust - the guy at the shop said 120 sand paper with a steel wool brush - but I thought I'd ask you guys. After removing the rust, priming and painting, the next move is to get a headset and fork. Operator, I'm looking at Urbane to find a 1" threadless headset and 1" fork.

Any big drawbacks to threaded? Urbane seems to have some 1" cromo forks. I would have taken the fork that was on the Miele, but the stem was cut and stuck in the steerer tube for some reason. Didn't want to put the guy through any trouble for $50. The headset was completely shot, and had to be removed.

If you have the original fork you may or may not have enough threading on the fork to accomadate the newer cartridge headsets. Bring in frame/fork unless you can write up all the measurements.

Since you're in vendor mode, do you have any 24" and 20" wheels that are cheap. For both, I'd need a rim and a complete front wheel. 24"s should be extra cheap, not so worried about the 20" as I'll pay more for a decent rim (not $80 for a rim, though).

100$ is not cheap. If you have time take the old fork and put one end in ammonia. It should dissolve the aluminum oxide and free the stuck stem.

You can't spot it. Go to Baldwin and Augusta and stand by the coffee shop on the NE corner. Look across Augusta to the west. Note the gate. Then go through the gate.

Regarding the removal: https://yarchive.net/bike/frozen_stem_remove.html
Here is the relevant quote:
Aluminum oxide formed is porous and hard and takes up
about twice the volume of the metal from which it is made. This is a
press fit with molecular interlocking that cannot be separated by
force and cannot be dissolved by chemical action in any reasonable
time without immersion in a hot bath. Even that is doubtful because
the area of attack is small and depth great.
The practical way for removing such corroded parts is to saw them off
and bore them out, first with a drill if wall thickness is too great
(bar stem), and then with a Dremel tool.

I know we have 24"/20" in stock, but i'm not sure what the pricing is off the top of my head. Give urbane a call tomorrow.

Ballpark ~ $100 total for headset + fork. If you're not deadset on going this route, you can stick with the threaded fork (unless your bike didn't come with one) and grab a new headset. We gots Tange $10-$20 or more expensive shimano cartridges up to 105 level in stock.
If you have the original fork you may or may not have enough threading on the fork to accomadate the newer cartridge headsets. Bring in frame/fork unless you can write up all the measurements.
