I already posted this in the vintage forum, but no one's replying. I thought I'd give it a go here, too.
I live in Montreal.
I got this frame from a shop a while ago, and they didn't really know the history. I've been trying to find out more about the manufacturer but can't find ANYTHING.
The brand is Avant-Garde and the model is DeLuxe.
It's got some nice decal work, on the seat tube it's got a Canadian Flag, and on the headset tube it's got a great graphic logo with the letter A in it. It's a pretty standard road frame and is - from what I can tell - chromoly. Also, judging by the style of typography, the original colors, the fork, and the logo, it seems like it was made in the 60s or 70s.
I've got a flickr set of my fixie here, where you can see some detail photos of the frame:

any help would be greatly appreciated!
i've been googling for weeks now.
