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

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

1971 CCM Grand Touring 3 Speed

Submitted by HotRodRob on Mon, 06/27/2011 - 22:43

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 :)

Information is at http://www.canadianvintagebicycleshow.com/ 

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????

Great site!
