Use this forum to discuss all things related to non-CCM Canadian bicycles, including Sunshine, Werlich etc.
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.

I know it's neither CCM nor Canadian but hopefully someone will know:
I recently aquired a 1950's Robin Hood 3 speed with the Sturmey Archer Dynohub on the front wheel. The wiring is in pretty poor shape and is broken at one of the dynohub terminals, so only one wire to from the hub to the headlight is connected. When the wheel is turning, the headlight shines bright like it should, but the tail light does not work. I checked the bulb and its fine.
So here are my questions:
Hi Folks, though not a Canadian bicycle, it did find it's way here. My guess is Ladies Norman from Ashford England 1951. Though it is suggested it was a common bike brought to North America after the war I wonder why there seem to be so few o the Internet. Any insight is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Hi I am fairly new to bicycle collecting so my knowledge isn't quite at par with many on this great forum. I am hoping someone can help me with information on this bicycle I recently rescued from a barn with a 1968 boys CCM bke. The name badge on the front appears to read Thistle? I know of children's toys made by the Thistle company would this be the same company?
Greetings all, my recently acquired early 30s. Hyslop has a rear drum brake that is 'rod actuated'. I've been having no luck finding an image of the original type of chain segment used on this rod-link set up . The flat chandelier type chain on there is looking pretty tired . I'm not sure that it's original...
