Some Questions....

There are many questions that come in by the way of the website. Usually i can respond fairly promptly, but this is the week of the Stewart Park Festival which I chair and things have been pretty hectic. So i thought I'd post the last few hoping someone might be able to help these folks out. Thanks.

QUESTION # 1

Smaller than 1/2 inch threading on pedals! Any idea what this is and where to find replacement pedals?
cheers,
Colin

QUESTION # 2

Hi There-  Do you know where I may obtain a headbadge for 1970 CCM Mustang?
Thanks,
Bill.

QUESTION # 3

Have a CCM Cadet SN#2E4555 approx. 1926 vintage which I would like to sell. Cycle has double pinstripes on wheels & could be easily restored to original condition. Could give me an idea of what it's value might be and would you have access to interested buyers?  While it is not in mint condition I would say it would probably be average.
Thanks for your help. Elmer

QUESTION # 4

Hello,I have acquired some vintage ccm and one very old supercycle and was wondering as an antique what they might be worth.. I have one for a female and one for a male.. All original
Ronnie

QUESTION # 5

I have a wicker doll pram #145 manufactured by Gendron Mfg Co Reed and Rattan furniture which is in excellent condition.  Is the carousel still available for this item?  Can you verify the year this was made?  On a paper clipping advertising that your agent would be making his rounds to businesses it is in the top right corner. Looking forward to your reply.  Many thanks     Floyd

Question 1   Some early bikes as in 1895 or  6 had  7/16 thread on them  My1896 Brantford had this size.  Pedals will be hard to find in that size. you could drill the crank arm out and rethread  to1/2 inch24 which was a common size .

pedal threads 1/2 x20 are used on one piece cranks. some polish bikesd from the 60s had a 3/8 pedal . i came in contact with them working in bike shop in  the late 60s . if you have the old pedals they  may be able to be rebuilt as i have done many times. i hope  this helps. william rudolph
