Josh/List Bicycle Specialties in Toronto just finished a Legano in Chartreuse for one of our local guys, Mr. Gary "City Bike" Della Rosa, the bike looks fantastic, no fantastic is an understatement, if Raquel Welch was a bicycle, this would be her !!!!! (ahhh the power of imagery).
The shop has a few of their restorations displayed on the web site http://www.bikespecialties.com I just had an Paramount 80's Team bike top tube resprayed due to an errant handlebar knock and I am very impressed with the (incorrect) metallic blue color match and the overall quality at (I think) the very reasonable price of $85 Canadian (about $70 US).
