1932 Olympics CCM racing bike of Glen Robbins

Thank you for including me in your group.

I found Vintage CCM while searching for info on my late father-in-law's racing bike he used in the 1932 ( Los Angeles ) Olympics.

When I found the bike in his tool shed it was in pretty rough shape. Over the years everyone had a go at riding and repairing it as well as a couple of paint jobs.

My wife and I rescued it from further deterioration by moving it to our heated basement but other than a light cleaning and lubrication nothing has been done to restore it. I have seen a similar bike ( Torchy Peden's ) totally restored with new chrome and paint but that's not our intent. In our opinion we think trying to preserve it's history by keeping as much of the bruises and scrapes as possible is the way to go. What we would like to do however is source parts that have been altered or missing to bring it back to the 1930's.

The head badge is a glaring example of the parts that are missing as are the wheels. I don't claim to know what is original and what is not so I am hopeful you can give some guidance and help in the light restoration of this historic Canadian bicycle.

cheers
