Here's a small bit of Canadiana

Oh man, my first real bike was a BRC. It was a beautiful metallic red Mustang bike with bananas seat, tall sissy bar, Highrise handlebars, light, horn, red line tiger paw tires, and 3 speed stick shift. I can still see and remember my dad bringing it home in his VW beetle It was the talk of the town, and everybody wanted to ride it. It got stolen 3 times, sadly the last time it was never recovered. Thanks for the memories!

Seeing the posting a couple pages back about the Arvon hubs reminded me I had some photos of a complete bike from local co-op in town. They also have an Arvon tandem hanging up that I don't believe I have a pic for.

Wow that's something special. I am impressed that they made their own hubs. I also love that they included their postal code on the head tube sticker. So Canadian it hurts. I'm curious about the aluminum (?) sleeve on the top tube. What is that about?

There's a corresponding one on the downtube. They are for separating the bike for shipping/travel etc.

I like the way you have arranged the bikes so that the chainsets from the bike behind make the x3 front bikes look like they have front discs!

Amazing collection!!!
