Use this forum to discuss all things related to non-CCM Canadian bicycles, including Sunshine, Werlich etc.
I wish some information for a non-online friend. He wishes to restore a bicycle. The names on the bicycle are Evangeline Light Roadster, Yarmouth Cycle Company (Nova Scotia). He believes that it was manufactured in the USA, possibly on the eastern seaboard. He believes that it was "rebadged" by the Yarmouth Cycle Company. He is looking for the name of the manufacturer and contact information for a source of parts and supplies, particularly for the wheels. I am new to this site. I will try to upload a picture next week. (He live
Hi,
I have just picked up a British BSA military bicycle frame, for the WW2 Mk V bicycle, as used by Canadian soldiers during WW2. Photos of Dieppe and Normandy beaches show this bike, although the folding paratrooper model was more common. I have discovered that the British used 28x1 5/8 or 1 3/4 inch tires on the Mk V . This seems wider than the normal 28 x 1 1/2 inch wheels and tires that appear on bicycles from this era.
Picked up this old Werlich at the end of June (needs a little TLC). Based on my Werlich catalogue, I believe it is from the mid fifties. Attached are photos and a page scanned out of Werlich Catalogue No.40 (1956). In the catalogue the suggested sale price was penciled in at $54.95

So it might be instructive to google the vintage bicycle site out here on the Left Coast.
It's called Vancruisers and it promotes most of our rides. I would look for the Lucha Libre ride video and then look at many of the other albums and videos.
I know it looks like we're not having much fun but we're a sober, quiet bunch.
Aslo give the Velo Vixens site a look.
I recently aquired a frame that I believe is Candian. My friend told me he saw one exactly like that and the make was Safety Cycle. Anyone as any information/picture of those bikes?
The frame is the bare metal one in the picture.
Not hearing much about this. Anyone got a connection?
rode a lot as a kid, learning in 1965 at age 5 on a circa 1950 full size women's CCM. Always loved biking but gave up decades ago mostly on account of terrible ergonomics of retail rolling stock availabe for the past 40yrs-especially ubiquitous non-shock absorbing "racing" seats that don't fit/support my adult size/weight (I am 200lb/34"waist).
Who made the Regent? Looks like a CCM womans loop frame
