Aircraft Spruce back in Ontario doesn't have the sizes I am looking for and the order would get filled from the US, thus shipping/brokerage is going to be a pain. I've found a couple other sources in the east but nothing in BC. The collective must either be better at Google than I am or know of a source.

Looking specifically for 1 3/4 0.049 and 1 3/8 0.035.

Totally wild guess but maybe the guy at .243 bikes would know. His frames were 4130 weren't they?

What cha building?

is going big on a bike the only way to get you stoked on the sport? what happened to riding with your bros, travelling, and riding unique places, to get people stoked on riding?

They have a local office. I'm not sure if they sell retail or what the minimum quantities are. I might be able to help you out if they don't sell retail/you can't get an account.
