I've been lurking for a bit and this forum has encouraged me to start looking at early Canadian bicycles. I especially love the lines of the ladies loop frames and hopefully my next acquisition will be an early Canadian model of one. I've already got the picture of what I want in my mind. And I've seen one rusting away in someone's garden I would love to have. laugh

So here is my meagre newbie collection so far. The Schwinn is already stripped and on it's way to becoming a rear electric hub e-bike. I am looking forward to learning more and CCM is so ingrained in our psyches as Canadians it holds a fascination for me.

welcome! loop frames are the easiest to find because ladies were more delicate with their bikes. good luck in your hunt. :)
