For black, all I know off the top of my head are Sugino and Blackspire. The Blackspire monoveloce is an option although they only go as low as 44t in 130BCD and they're 3/32 only. Direct sale on the blackspires is about $56 w/o shipping. They do have some road rings in 130BDC that are black. Not sure what Sugino Messengers go for in TO.
I have a lightly used 42t in what appears to be 130BC in black Sugino, non-bling ring. I'll post a photo of it when I get a chance after I confirm the BCD. I'd likely only want $15 for it.

Bikes: too many too list
Part of Raleigh Canada's problem has been low-end bikes. Raleigh USA has a much nicer line-up but, for whatever reason, R-C has never brought them into Canada so you rarely see em up here. Looks like Polly talked em into it. Good frame...good price...local...deal. Too bad he can't get completes.
