|  Canadian Pin-ups | IdeaSSguy Nov 20, 2002 10:42 PM | | Isn't she pretty...? If you know of any other Candian SS builders post them here. So far I only know of Peyto, Brodie and True North. |
|  re: Canadian Pin-ups...another one | IdeaSSguy Nov 20, 2002 10:53 PM | | can't believe I forgot Spot Brand. Although made in Canada, website does quote stuff in USD only. |
|  OMFG | weather Nov 20, 2002 11:31 PM | | that's dope!!! any idea how much dough i must sink to have one? |
|  OMFG | IdeaSSguy Nov 20, 2002 11:56 PM | | The True North, custom, Reynolds 853, is $1450cdn plus paint options (ouch) and the Spot is 650usd. These are Frame only prices. I think the True North fork is 325.

|  re: Canadian Pin-ups | kilgoreSS Nov 21, 2002 6:16 AM | | Hey, True North is in the Cambridge, Ontario area right? Is that where you live? |
|  Man, Hugh does some beautiful work on his frames/bikes! (nm) | SS_MB-7 Nov 21, 2002 6:19 AM | | |
|  Mike, Dumb Question for You... | JbW Nov 21, 2002 8:46 AM | | as I look at the true North web page, should folks assume that the prices quoted are in CAN$ as opposed to U.S. I know we americans assume everyone quotes in our dollars. Thanx |
|  Yes, his prices are in CDN $. Our low $$ will make it a lot cheaper for US riders.... | SS_MB-7 Nov 21, 2002 10:07 AM | | Yes, his prices are in CDN $. Our low $$ will make it a lot cheaper for US riders. For example, a custom 853 frame is $1450CDN, which is approximately $900US. A little pricier than Curtlo. I've seen Hugh Black's (True North) work first-hand and it is gorgeous! I wouldn't hesitate ordering a frame/fork/bike from him.

|  nice | bn Nov 21, 2002 8:17 AM | | Never heard of them before. They could go to town naming their frame models: "strong", "free", "glorious", "patriot love", "glowing heart", "far and wide", "on guard", etc. |
|  say hello to the Balfa Minuteman... | IdeaSSguy Nov 22, 2002 12:04 AM | | I really like this one. I think the Kona Project 2 fork and a slightly lighter ss wheelset would make this a really fun thrash and crash bike. |
