I've reached a tipping point and I can't deal with my local LBS that sells Colnago's in Montreal as every time he tells me something he changes it 1 week later. Does anyone know any online retailers that offer competitive pricing and ship in Canada so I can order a C60?

Thanks

http://www.wrenchscience.com/ but they may not be so competitive on price. I had similar experience with LBS here in US so I went to these guys. Not sure if you just want a frame, but their online build tool is great.

Their website is awful but I've found in the past that Racer Sportif in Toronto sells Colnago prices similar to the UK discounters like Merlin.

Website here:
http://www.racersportif.com/

It doesn't even show Colnagos but when I talked with them about a C59 last year they still had access to them. No customs problems, quick shipping if it's in stock, reasonable shipping on a NOS C40 they got for me a couple of years ago from somewhere.

I've also bought Colnagos from R&A and had good service from them. Quick delivery (I think they arrived at my son's office in two days after I ordered the frames). We didn't have any customs problems with R&A orders either. In fact, I'm not sure we were even charged GST.

I've bought a lot of parts from the UK and some from the US with few problems.

I just bought a C60 from bellatisport, and he said it will take 8-10 weeks, seems good so far though, fast communication.

Wait, what? I can get a 65cm Master from them for less than I paid 5 years ago? ($526.19 shipping aside) From Italy to Australia to the US? I take back my wrenchscience recommendation. This whole global economy thing is really screwed up.

The AUD has devalued against the USD ~ 25-30% recently, potentially stock for sale was purchased prior to the dip.

Colnagos have always been cheaper from abroad, in fact most cycling items are.
