Bruce's carries an excellent selection of Scott, Argon 18, Rocky Mountain and Lemond road bikes in every price range and for every interest. Take a look through this page to see what each brand offers, and visit their web site to look at their on-line catalogue.
Scott Bicycles
We started carrying Scott road and cyclo-cross bikes in 2007
and really feel strongly about them! You won't find a better looking bike and
they are a competitively priced premium package! Their line encompasses
everything from your first $850 road bike to cyclo-cross, triathlon and even the
ultimate $12000 carbon road machine.
Argon 18 Bicycles
Canada's premium road bike company, Argon 18, has five different carbon
framesets to choose from. In addition they have an amazing tri-bike line that has
already set a record at Ironman Hawaii in 2005 and regularly takes the fastest
bike split at the event. Visit their website to look at their on-line catalogue.
When you order your Argon from us you have your choice of component group, handlebar width, crank length, wheels and another dozen options to make your bike the perfect one for you.
Rocky Mountain Bicycles
Our
Rocky Mountain Bicycles are hand built in Canada guarantying a level of
craftsmanship and quality that can only be compared to a custom made bicycle.
Each bike starts with custom tubing and is transformed by the skilled craftsmen
at Rocky's Vancouver factory into a beautifully finished, performance oriented
bike frame. From concept, to prototyping, wheel building to the final coat of
paint, its all done right here in Canada. We especially like the Solo CX and CXR
bikes that make an excellent all-purpose road bike able to handle the city,
touring, dirt and the highway.
Lemond Bicycles
Lemond Bicycles is one of America's premium road cycling lines. Their Triumphe carbon frames weigh as little as 850g! Beyond this amazing flagship frame, Lemond has a wide variety of bikes that have been thought-out from the ground up to produce bikes that stand out in the crowd!

Bontrager
Buzzkills borrow technology long used in sport and hunting bows. These
harmonic dampers inserted into your handlebars vibrate at the frequency of the
road noise and cancel it out. Reduced vibration of the hands makes for a more
comfortable ride and less fatigue, especially on our rough Saskatchewan
highways.
The Bontrager Isogel handlebar tape places a layer of gel between you and
the handlebar. This layer of gel absorbs shock that would be normally
transferred directly to the palm of your hand and thereby improves the comfort
of your ride. It also makes the handlebar diameter slightly larger which many
people have found to me much more comfortable to hold.
A Carbon Seatpost is another method of reducing the amount of
vibration that is transmitted to you from your bike. Traditional aluminium posts
are super stiff and transmit shock very well. The carbon post is also super
stiff, but does not transmit vibration nearly as well as aluminium and thus
provides a more comfortable ride.
A Selle Italia saddle is probably the nicest thing you can buy for
yourself. Remember that your primary contact point with the bike is the seat,
and then ask yourself if you even like your current seat. The proper seat can
make a huge difference to the comfort of your bike and whether you look forward
to your ride, or dread it. Our favourite is the gelflow design which has a
cut-out center and both men's and women's models to account for different
spacing of hipbones and such. Stop by and try a few out, your butt is worth it!
