Yeah I've seen a couple. Nice frames!

I own a 1985 Bertrand -- full Dura Ace, Mavic Rims, Cinelli bar. (Hence the nickname) I bought it from a friend 2 years ago, when I began to get back into biking. I have since put about 3000 kilometers on it and it has served me very well.

Gilles Bertrand has been a well-known Canadian frame maker. I think that Bertrand frames are highly regarded in general. He has built frames for a number of well-known individual, not the least of which include Steve Bauer and Pope John Paul.

Last year I visited the Bertrand shop in Hull. You can still go to the Bertrand shop and get custom fitted for a frame, but they are now built by Marinoni in Montreal.

Overall, I would say that Bertrand is a great name in Canadian cycling.
