Happy New Year! Here is some news about events this year that I am aware of:
--As many of you will have heard, the organization that ran the Toronto VIntage Bicycle Show for the past number of years is no more, and unless someone takes on the event it will not be taking place.
--After a hiatus, it was just announced that the London (Ontario) Tweed Ride will be taking place this coming spring. Check the Facebook group page for information on this event. The date has yet to be announced.
Hi,
I need to replace the 28" wheels on a c. 1950's bicycle due to extensive rust. I priced re-chroming and that is out of the question. I am not worried about keeping it authentic.
I recently acquired this Comet from Dave Brown who had it for 25 years. He had not previously posted pictures of it so I thought I would add it here. It rides vey nicely with new Stutzman wood rims with metal inserts and an Eclipse Morrow hub brake, but with a 25 1/2 inch frame getting on and off takes some practice. The funny thing is, this is the medium size frame, not the tall frame! The tall frame has a 27 inch seat tube. The smallest size available was 24 inch. The paint, front hub, stem and bars, crank and pedals are original (not sure about seat).
After keeping my eyes and ears open for a long time I finally found a nice original condition Hyslop Mens. It came with original paint, saddle, pedals, hubs, rims, tool pouch and pump clips. I added the brass pump and Electra Amsterdam 700 x 40C white tires. I would have put black tires on it, but the previous owner kept one of the worn-out original tires that was on the bike when he bought it at an estate sale 25 years ago, and that tire was white. The hub brake is a New Departure Model A.
Picked this up and can’t figure out what it is. Had a decal for headbadgeI think. Has an Eadie coaster brake hub, rod brakes, Dunlop Ranger tires that say “made in Canada”, a Wrights saddle.
Anyone any idea what this is?
Hi, This is short notice, but there will be a Tweed Ride in Guelph this Sunday, starting at 1 pm at the Guelph Arboretum, on the university campus. 7 km ride, free admission, and prizes for best bike and spiffy clothing! Weather looks promising.
There is more information on the Guelph Coalition for Active Transportation website, or on their facebook page.

All welcome to buy, sell, trade, display or just enjoy the collections of many.

Hope to see you here!

Like it says in the title, currently trying to find anything on this bike, searching online leads to absolutely nowhere since ''Canadian'' and ''De luxe'' is attributed to every other off-brand/re-badged knock-off bicycles. So I posted it here in hope someone knows, have seen or have information on this bike.
Just to point out, it's sitting on a pair of 24' x 1.75 wheels (Araya) and I have a feeling the Cobra bars were added, replacing normal ape hangers.
