Devout Dirtbag
Mikado is still around I think, based in Quebec.
There is one of their older model steel frame touring bikes for sale locally from (he says) the original owner. For $499.
Now, the way I see it is that this is a $60 bike. I'd buy it for that (for the frame basically) to have as a spare. It's an XL frame, meaning that cuts down on the number of riders who'd be able to ride it. I wouldn't need the pannier bags but he is selling those too included in the price.
How does one talk sense into an owner who prices their bike the way this man has? He obviously doesn't want to sell it perhaps and the motivation is spouse driven.
This model is kind of obscure and not much info about it on the net. Here is a page from one owner of that same bike, who seems to really like it enough to have it repainted / dolled up;
