I occasionally see the old BRCs on Kijiji up here. Nice bikes, "back in the day"...

Just saw one on Kijiji in Quebec. Wasn't sure if anyone else knew what they were.

The BRC office was in my town so we saw lots of them around. I considered them similar to Norco's in quality and design. My friend rode one across Canada in the early 90's. I'm a bit sad the brand died out.

They are nice bikes that come dirt cheap, these days.

@Ingola and I dug up another weird Canadian yesterday outside of Montreal. Far West was an outdoor clothing company, goretex jackets and hiking gear. It seems that they got BRC to make them a bike, and it is better equipped than any BRC I've seen.
