Hey Ken,

Been following the blog. Keep it up, you’ll hit the atlantic soon enough.

If you’re looking for a Surley shop in Toronto I highly recommend Liberty Street Cyclery. A great shop, great staff and service 416 – 516 – 8880. I also recommend The Bike Joint 416 -532 – 6392, straight out repair shop, again highly recommended.
Both are downtown, west end, sorry don’t have much knowledge of whats in the burbs.

For a great Toronto experience, and our semi official foodstuff, head to the St Lawrence Market and get a peameal bacon sandwich on a Kiaser from Carrousel bakery. Then head to the basement for pirogies.

Cheers,

Mike

Cheers,

    Thanks for the tips Mike,
    Always looking for a sandwich. As for bike shops I do need some work done mainly chain/cassette and a new brooks as I broke mine. I was thinking Sweet Pete’s as a one stop shop, what can you tell me about them?

    Thanks

      Yes, Sweet Pete’s is also on the list of good ones . Tend to be busy but always on the ball, recommend the original shop at 1204 Bloor 416 – 533 – 4481 but they do have an outpost at the Brickworks (worth a visit, recycled brick factory now an e-industry incubator) 416 – 533- 1411 far less busy but call ahead i think they are closed early weekdays

      Regards

      If you need a new Brooks saddle (have fun with the break in..) MEC is 20 – 50 bucks cheaper than most shops, Email me and i’ll give you my account number and save you the membership fee

      Talked to Sweet Pete’s. They’re pretty busy but suggest calling a day or so ahead of time to check availablity and they’ll do what they can to fit you in.
