quite simple : 1- Québec is huge and has many rivers 2- government build dams to make hydroelectricity (sadly flooding many First Nations lands but that's another story) 3- aluminium companies got rebates over the electricity price (producing aluminium takes a lot of electrcity) 4- Alcan was...

Here are some mockups...

I'm in the process of building myself a grocery getter that I will actually like. I had this 1992 Kilauea lying around so I decided to prepare it so it can take a lot of rain and maybe a little bit of snow and salt here in the dirty streets of Montréal, QC. I wet sanded with 2000 paper and my...

Received all 3 ! Very nice fit ! Thanks again !

Hi @Fatboy1974, thanks for the 3 angled seat collars for my Altitude and Équipe. Very nice and light. Unbeatable at this price !

interested ! for a 94 Altitude edit : I'm in Montréal, QC

Will do soon, really busy these days…

Apparition_Cycles' 1993 Kona Kilaeua I'm in Montréal, Québec and it's 23:50 right now so I'm not technically late ; ) R.I.P. Pipmeister ! My sympathies to all his friends and family. Keep on retrobiking !

Hi all, Well after about a year-long wait I finally got the frame and ended up paying more than everybody told me to. I guess it's me that has got a problem with the value of things in this capitalist system. Actually, I value the work and I respect the time and intelligence invested. To me...

not finished ?

this is a nice thread with nice time jumps and a nice resurrection let’s keep it alive ! anybody know how to source straight or butted tubes to replace powerlite legs ?

At this price you can't go wrong... Anyone received a pair ? Just ordered 2 and I'm curious.
