I think I may have visited the Montreal shop in 1974 when I was in Montreal for the World Championships (at which Merckx won the pro road race, outsprinting Poulidor in the final straight). It was a shop with an Italian name, may even have been called Baggio Cycles. The pro bikes for sale there were mostly Italian as I recall and Torpado seemed to be the "featured" marque. I've been back to Montreal a couple of time since, but not tried to find the shop, so I don't know if it still exists.
