I wish I had a camera with me I didnt!
Spotted a cantilever frame Simpson-Sears JC Higgins bike in downtown Toronto. Looked to be based on a CCM Catalina style frame, and was unlike any US JC Higgins bike Ive ever seen. Did CCM ever manufacture this brand of bicycle to anyone's knowledge?
I have a 37 tradesmans bike also called a light delivery bike.
Do any of you guys know what colours they came in?
How many of these bikes are still around? Anybody want to guess?
Received the poster for this year's Canadian Vintage Bicycle Show from Jamie McGregor. It's to be held in Brantford on June 24th. Jamie is a member on the site here and I'm sure will keep us up to date as the event approaches.
For those who are looking ahead, I really recommend you keep this date open. I went for the first time last year and had a great day. It's a well run event with friendly people and bikes you'll just never see anywhere else.

Yesterday, I went into the country to talk to a fellow about some old bicycles he was supposed to have. Well, he did have some old bikes.
I waided through crotch deep snow to get at as many as I could and took as many pictures as I could in the time the impatient owner would allow.
I have a 37 flyte with a english threaded bottom bracket and a ccm cotter pin crank. I also have one with a ccm triplex crank
Im going to put the two together to make one nice one to keep and Im wondering which one to do it to?
I posted this on thecabe and someone there suggested it might have links to CCM
It does look like the 1930 Heavy Duty I found in this forum.
Any ideas?
I have been collecting vintage bicycles for a while now, and have owned several old CCM road bicycles, roadsters, balloon tire steeds, and the like. Presently I have early to mid seventies CCM Tour du Canada and a recently acquired 1939 CCM "Road Racer".
