I will add this one here. Big thanks to warhorse.
brodie #115 trials bike. Thread to follow. Won't be many changes.

The little know about and never seen simian warrior. ha ha
Still waiting to see if that is a real thing.

We'll set the record straight. Straight from the horses mouth.

Hi Roy,

Simian Warrior is not one of our model names. I have heard someone else use it, never me. We maybe made seven of those bikes. They never had model name decals on them...

Montreal shop Gianella had frames made by various manufacturers. Trying to pin down where this one is from. Seller claims Columbus tubing, but I'm sceptical. Any input greatly appreciated
Some were rumored to be welded by Marinoni, other mass produced by Miele. The parts are too good to ignore

The best cycling innovation since bell bottoms. I would literally give up cycling before cuff clips. More essential than tires
