We met Micheal at an Alleycat in Montreal this summer. At that moment he invited us to his Cranksgiving alleycat in Halifax, so we went. We stayed a couple of nights at his place enjoying a lot of beers and riding around the great town and coast. That's when he showed us this prize! He purchased it off a bike shop in Toronto that got it when the Montreal Olympic Velodrome closed. He proceeded to use it as a courier bike for a couple of years both in Toronto and Montreal. The set-up you see here is the last one he had. This bike has a lot of mileage under it's belt and is a mix of awesome and sturdy parts and cheaper or weird components, as dictated by it's harsh lifestyle.
