Hello all, I bought this sign recently and need some help. I don't speak French, but I believe at the top of the sign it says "Authorized Dealer" ? Also, at the bottom it says what appears to be " E. Coulembe" Does anyone know if this was a bicycle dealer or hockey equipment dealer, or both? I was also interested in knowing where this dealer was. I am assuming it was in Quebec somewhere? (duh!) I would greatly appreciate any help :)
Best Regards,

Hi everyone, I am in the process of cleaning up a 70's Galaxie for my daughter. Does anyone have any tips on how to remove the rear wheel hub. I want to clean up and re-lube the bearings, but I can't ge the sucker off??
Any help is appreciated.

A guy calls me and says "I`ve got a small box of old bike stuff you might be interested in" . When I get there he pulls out this stuff. Yep, that`s some old stuff alright! Some pretty interesting items, a couple of `em I have no idea on 
Anyone know what the black arm with the clamp on the end is? Or what the horseshoe shaped shims are?
Where I live in an outlying area of Winnipeg we have a local museum, being a railroad town its mostly train related. In the 15 years I've lived here I've always heard rumours about a collection of vintage bicycles in the basement of the museum. I've been to see the curator several times over the years wanting to document those bikes in the basement, he acknowledged they were there but the basement was strictly off limits to visitors.
This little beaut was in pretty rough shape when I got her. Sand blasted and stripped er down to the bearings, polished and re-greased everything, a little bondo on the fenders, new paint, gyes saddle, and custom leather grips. I know it's not a restoration but it looks the way I want and she's a pretty smooth ride too. Definitely turns some heads on campus.
Hello, I recently bought a '36 Red Bird which unfortuneately has been ridden pretty hard by previous owners (it was rpainted some time before '45, which is plain to see because it still has the license sticker). The drive train is useable, but the teeth are pretty shark-toothed.
Anyhow - is it reasonable that this CCM would have had a Perry rear hub? The front wheel is also stamped "Made in England." Both of the wheels and rims certainly look period, but they could have been replaced back when the bike was repainted.
I love this photo of Backpeddling in Guelph. If you're ever down that way, pop in. It's amazing. www.backpeddling.com

Hello everyone, I have recently ventured into the world of CCM bicycles. I picked up a 24" CCM Galaxie for my daughter. She loves it. It is in decent condition, I am just going to clean it up a bit and remove the rust, but otherwise leave it as is. Previously she was riding around on a 20" Schwinn Typhoon, which is now being handed down to my boy. Can't wait for spring, gonna have some cool kids on some cool rides cruisin' around town!
I will post pics as soon as I figure that out, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Sean
