Doc Morton bicycle wrench

I recently sent this to Mike Berry and thought some others might be interested in it as well. It appeared in a 1948 edition of the CCM newsletter VIM.

Doc Morton was a legendary Canadian bike racer and mechanic who had a close relationship with CCM. He was Torchy Peden's coach and mentor and operated a bicycle shop in Toronto for many years. 

Skirt guard

Submitted by Lawrence Ruskin on Tue, 07/05/2011 - 10:42

I am restoring a '33 woman's CCM and I am looking for some good shots of the period skirt guard.

Good day.  On June 18 I entered a 1934 CCM in the Kluane Chilkat International Bicycle Relay from Haines Junction in the Yukon to Haines on the coast of Alaska, where I rode the last 19 miles into Fort Seward, of the 148 miles total.  One of my teammates, John Lewis, was so taken with the idea of racing vintage that he searched out his childhood bike (stored in some nephew's garage, unwanted) and is dismantling it with intention to restore and race it next year.  Of course, there is no hope that he could use a coaster-brake one-speed on the mile-long hills of the Haines H

1971 CCM Grand Touring 3 Speed

Submitted by HotRodRob on Mon, 06/27/2011 - 21:43

Picked this guy up at the Canadian Vintage Bicycle Show. Never seen or heard of it before but I just had to have it. Needs some work but that ok. I have a set of 26x 1 3/8 red line tires that will look really sharp on this one. Just another oddball bike to add the CCM list I guess :)

I havent been for a couple of years, but was really impressed when I went.  Saw an amazing shaft drive bike from 1908 that looked like it had been built a few years ago.  Lots of classic CCM's there too!  A great way to spend a day!

Anybody else going????
