Received these photos from Rejean of his wooden-wheeled Falcon. The last one shows it strapped to the back of his 1927 Chevrolet. Anyone familiar with a Falcon?
It's interesting to note that through the 1940s and into the very early 1950s, CCM economized by using Falcon hubs on some models. The early catalogs stated these hubs were" Made In Canada" but later catalogues stated "Made by CCM". It makes you wonder if CCM wasn't making them all along but didn't want to tarnish the CCM brand. Further, might tthe Falcon bicycle be an early attempt by CCM to create an economical model?

Looks like the top part of the head badge is missing,to me. The bike looks a lot like my pastime bike dated 1915 or so.If you look in the for sale on this site you can see it.
all I can tell is that it has the wrong saddle (from a balloon tire bike).

Agreed, just over half appears to be present.
