Hi Nick, More than happy to help.
Another option just occurred to me. You may be able to get your paint job done locally. The first option that springs to mind is to determine if the 'old' Bertrand bike store in Hall might be able to do it for you. They used to build frames on site, however I suspect they may have gotten out of that side of the business. Failing this, you always try getting in touch with Mike Plumber, as he might do painting. I remember he was a great help to me in repairing the clamp on my repair stand, by welding it. So at this point, it's just my guess that Mike might to frame painting. Alternatively, you can always try getting in touch with the Argon bicycle company in Montreal. I believe you can reach them either through the web, or through the bike shop on Bank Street, just a block south of the Canal. There's also the Guru bike company in Montreal as well, who also build bikes. And lastly, there's always the Cervello bike company in Toronto. I believe you should be able to reach them through Award Cycle on Carling. Lastly, you could always try a good autobody repair shop, like Lusitania on Richmond Road, here in Westboro. Well, there ya have my 'brain droppings' on this matter. The possibilities are numerous; it's the problem of finding them, Cheers, Bill Taylor At 10:29 AM -0500 3/17/02, Nick Belanger wrote: >Content-Type: text/plain; x-avg-checked=avg-ok-51CF6FF0; charset=iso-8859-1 > >Great info!
