Skilled Local Bike Mechanic Required For Custom Build, Dream Bike Materializing...

Happy Sunday morning,

TLDR: I require a skilled local bike mechanic in Toronto to combine my RedFox Cycles Tractor Fork to my incoming Cannondale Treadwell 2 LTD (Large) base bike. Does anyone locally specifically focus on cargo bikes or custom builds? This will involve swapping the fork itself, but mounting the hydraulic brakes to the new fork (convertor for international mounts / new lines required) etc.

I have recently done a deep spring cleaning via Konmari method and its having amazing effects on my life. Passing on old projects and restarting ones that really matter.

I have been wanting to build a " Clydesdale-Mini" Commuter Bike for the past three years since moving back to Toronto. I am an avid cyclist / commuter but after my beloved VanMoof was stolen and trashed in Calgary (managed to recover the husk), I have fallen back to my tried and true fixed gear conversion. Its super reliable and always there for me .. but it is very dangerous for city riding re: racing posture, thin wheels (streetcar tracks) etc. For this reason I haven't been riding nearly as much as I used to and have fallen back to City Bike as my main option. I have imagined my dream bike and I am very close to making it a reality, acquiring the two main pieces needed to get me going. Now I am in search of a skilled bike mechanic who can bring it all together.

*Looking for all suggestions on local mechanics - and not necessarily on the design / vision of my dream bike.

Seeking Blossom Branch Clipping for Dinner Party This Evening.

​

Hello and good evening fellow Roncesvalle Neighbours,

I am having some friends over this evening for dinner and drinks before we head out to an event. I have everything prepared EXCEPT I have this vision, the center piece, a blossom branch (pear or cherry). I searched the open produce shops on Roncesvalles but came up short. I am desperate and considered clipping a street tree but it just isn't right not to mention illegal... but I thought this is the realistic middle ground! Can anyone in the area offer me a plump branch clipping of their own tree?! I have a gift in exchange (🥂)!

<3

DM me your address and I can pop over.
