Hello from Peterborough, ON!

Hi! I've been lurking on this site for a while, and thought I should finally introduce myself. My name is Dan and I'm from Peterborough, Ontario. My partner, Jennifer, and I have been collecting/repairing/restoring/reselling vintage Raleighs for a while and in the last year or so started collecting CCM's.

Most of our bikes are 1960's and 1970's. Our oldest CCMs are from 1944 and 1947. (The 1944 came with a really cool 'Care and Operation of Your Bicycle' brochure that my partner has scanned in to PDF format - happy to share if anyone is interested)

Pictures of some of our bikes (CCM's and others) can be found in our Photobucket library: http://s1361.photobucket.com/user/bilfs/library/?sort=3&page=1 There are still photos of about 20 other bicycles that we need to upload, including 4 or 5 more CCM's.

I'm looking forward to tapping in to the collective expertise on these formus as we begin our next restorations.

Thanks!

Hi Dave:

Welcome to the Forum. I'm sure there are some folks on here who'd be more than happy to assist you in parting with some of your collection if you wanted to throw some info & photos up regarding what's available.

Welcome Dan.  I too hope to make the show with a couple bikes! Not sure if I'm ready to sell any, especially my CCM!
