Douglas Devinci III Handbuilt In Canada. I'm just finishing this off with cables and chain for Toxik Harald's Show and Shine in May. It was a nice sunny afternoon so I gave it a wash. I don't much about these and don't remember them from back in the day. The pic isn't too good but if you look on the stem, it has a water bottle mount

That's lovely Eric, can anyone tell us any more about them?

thanks man! It a keeper! A member on the Vintage Canadian fb forum offered up

"It`s a Devinci Douglas, made in the Saguenay-Lac St-Jean area in the province of Québec (my province). If I`m right, frames of this era (aluminum) weren`t that strong 'cause they were not heat-treated."

They were mostly an eastern bike from what I understand and was a pleasant surprise to see this out on the west coast.

Re:

My latest prize showed up last night...a Spot Brand single speed. This was handbuilt in Vancouver, Canada and welded up by Moe Pardhan aka "MTW" in 1996. I'm very lucky to buy frame #2 off of one of the founding business partners of Spot Brand. It was also the showbike at Interbike in Anaheim 1996. It came with the drop out inserts in order to bolt on a rear derailleur...and I might just make it into a 1x9. I'm pretty stoked to have this little treasure from my community of my local builders. I hope you enjoy, this is a rare bird!

#1. That is a beauty! I missed out on a John Deere green Spot on ebay years ago, and I'm sure my life would have turned out for the better had I won it.

#2. You gotta lay off that FB group, and let some other guys have a chance there!

Re:

So many beautyful canadians here.

I am the proud owner of these 2 canadians:

1996 Rocky Mountain Vertex t.o.

1997 Rocky Mountain Element t.o.

The Vertex has the original paint and the Element is a repaint.
I bought the Element 1997 and owned it since that and the Vertex frame I found a few weeks ago.

I call them my twins.
