I'm thinking maybe 1ish at Canadian Tire at Yonge and Davenport? I'm thinking Pyze you live east, Duppy lives east and I live west so it is kind of a good middle ground. I'm not sure where Ronin is located, althuogh I think maybe him and Duppy left earlier maybe. I only need to get electrical tape and a few washers shouldn't be too long at Crappy Tire.

Was it Danhalen that scored that nice Guerciotti at the bike show? There is a thread in C&V about another one and it looks exactly like the one he got:

Here's the bike that I found: https://www.classicrendezvous.com/Ita...i/Guerc_MS.htm
Actually the one I posted is exactly how I want to build mine up, except i'm going to use dark grey/black bar tape instead of the yellow which looks awful on this otherwise classy bike imo. I can't wait to get it built!!
On the subject of Guerciottis I love this one too: https://www.bikecult.com/works/archive/guercJPrs.jpg

Those pedals are awesome. They are even awesomer if they are colour matched with some gaudy as crap old school BMX grips.

Not sure they're worth 40 bucks though. Purple ano doesn't actually DO anything other than be purple.
