Re:

Nice bike.

I picked this one up as my Eroica California ride this Spring. Its a Canadian Apollo Gran Sport. Full Shimano 600 Arabesque. Champion No. 2 tubing. I've changed the saddle out for a turbo (which my butt doesn't seem to care for) and I've swapped the bar tape for some leather look microfiber. I'm toying with the idea of putting a Brooks B17 on it.

That looks nice and original

Thanks - yes, I think the only things not original was the saddle and the tires. I'm planning on some panaracer pasaelas for Eroica. I'd like the keep the turbo on it, but can't imagine riding 140km on it at the moment.

Really odd seat post on the bike - looks like a transitional design between the Laprade and those earlier ones where the clamp and pin were separate.
