Well, I expected Vancouver to be awash with Rocky Mountains and Toads, but I was sadly disappointed. I didn't see any retrobikes being used out in the countryside or on the trails. I did see a few around the city, but not a huge number.

This Ritchey was probably one of the only notable ones:


Although I liked this Miele touring bike I saw too:



I did also see a very cool Kuwahara - I think it was a 1985 Kuwahara Apollo - but someone was riding it and I decided I would draw the line at running alongside trying to take a photo.

I keep my eyes open for it whenever I'm in York city centre. I might have (carefully) attached a note to it the first time to ask if they were interested in selling if it wasn't too small for me.
