Hello to all viewers. I am a senior, and from time to time acquire a bike, clean, fix up and resell.
I haven't purchased older bikes until recently. I was asked to sell a couple of original, one owner bikes for friends, and was suprised with the interest that ensued. As of late helped a contact in Halifax acquire an Eatons Glider here in Toronto. Just had it shipped.
To my specific item: I acquired a 77 ladies CCM elite. Not rare, but this one is very good, little or no rust and almost original.
is the glue used to install tubulars on to aluminium ok to use on wooden rims. also the rim now has no finish on it what should i use .the orginal finish was what i believe to be shellac. thanks william rudolph.
Hi everyone,
Don asked me to say "hi" to everyone he met in Brantford. He also wanted me to post a few pics from his collection. They include a cushion-frame bike (black), a 1957 Standard Cycle Products Sturmey-Archer SW 3-speed (blue), a 1952 Cyco Sonic (orange), and a 1951 3-speed club racer (baby blue). Enjoy!

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?

QUESTION # 2
Just trying to see if anyone knows what the year of my bike is from the serial number? F655131, any info? thanks so much.
As mentioned in a previous post, I was pretty excited to have recently acquired a 1930 Massey Harris Motorbike. One of my two favourite bikes and one that I've been after for a few years. It was sitting buried in a garage since the 70s. Overall everything looked to be in good shape other than a couple broken spokes, one punctured tire and the fact that it was completely covered in spray paint. Minimal rust on the handlebars. All other plated parts are really nice once the paint was removed.
I just scored a Massey motorbike. I haven't dated it yet but will update the post with that info soon.
Overall, it is in pretty good condition. Unfortunately, someone decided to spray paint the frame, fork and rims and wasn't very concerend about overspray or taping. The headset, part of the stem, spokes, bottome bracket are all partially painted.
Hi,
From what I can tell, Ramblers only had a head badge and a chain guard decal. Mine is a '61. Is this correct?
Thanks, Daryl
Good day to all, I am new to this forum.
I recently purchased a 1942 CCM Red Bird, in much need of TLC.
It has been repainted several times, and the original color appears to be a Baby Blue. Is this an original CCM color, and if so, what is the color code? Are there any paints on the market that resemble CCM colors? One of the collectors on this blog (Mark) appears to have a bicycle with a similar color.
Your help is appreciated.

Hi,
Just had stolen from my Ottawa backyard an old ccm tandem bike. I bought iit
5 years ago from an ottawa architect who had it hanging on his garage as an
ornament. It was all seized up and i got it back in working order. Used it
extensively with my kids. It was red, with a green milkcrate on the back,
serial no. B85548C. It was rough around the edges, but was solid, reliable
and fun.
