Beware of scam

Heads up to CCM bicycle collectors about a possible scam offer of parts.

I posted on Vintage CCM site months ago that I needed parts for my 1955 CCM.

Yesterday I received an email from a person who claimed to have some parts for me.

He posted a picture of his 1955 CCM that he was parting out.

The picture was of a bike in perfect condition that I quickly found googling images of 1955 CCMs.

Obviously I'm not going any further with this deal.

Be careful out there!

Wish these guys would get a regular job!!

I once saw an ad for a Jo Routens on Kijiji and the guy did not ask much money for it so I contacted him. his reply asked for money to be sent to him in the UK as he moved there and then he would ship the bike to me for free.
