I've restored quite a few vintage bikes.  About 20 years ago, I did a ladies Raleigh for my wife - it was a 1930ish bike.  She loved it, and then it was stolen.  I bought a similar for my daughter about 10 years ago and she happily rode it in Wateron Park for a summer.  She has it in Edmonton.

So, when I saw a vintage bike for sale here in Calgary, I went and bought it for my wife.  It is a CCM - probably from the 40's.  It is in great condition - it has sat a lot somewhere.  It has pretty much all of the original hardware.  I don't think the bearings had been touched - they were bone dry.  I redid all of them.  It has a great original seat which someone has recovered.  Still has, I think, the original pedals.

I saw a breakdown on your site of the hub and it is exactly what is on this bike.

I'll share some pictures once I'm set up.    Thanks    ....  Bob
