TORONTO VINTAGE BICYCLE SHOW - JULY 30
I know it's neither CCM nor Canadian but hopefully someone will know:
I recently aquired a 1950's Robin Hood 3 speed with the Sturmey Archer Dynohub on the front wheel. The wiring is in pretty poor shape and is broken at one of the dynohub terminals, so only one wire to from the hub to the headlight is connected. When the wheel is turning, the headlight shines bright like it should, but the tail light does not work. I checked the bulb and its fine.
So here are my questions:
Hi Folks, though not a Canadian bicycle, it did find it's way here. My guess is Ladies Norman from Ashford England 1951. Though it is suggested it was a common bike brought to North America after the war I wonder why there seem to be so few o the Internet. Any insight is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Hi I am fairly new to bicycle collecting so my knowledge isn't quite at par with many on this great forum. I am hoping someone can help me with information on this bicycle I recently rescued from a barn with a 1968 boys CCM bke. The name badge on the front appears to read Thistle? I know of children's toys made by the Thistle company would this be the same company?
Greetings all, my recently acquired early 30s. Hyslop has a rear drum brake that is 'rod actuated'. I've been having no luck finding an image of the original type of chain segment used on this rod-link set up . The flat chandelier type chain on there is looking pretty tired . I'm not sure that it's original...
This Glider will be sold at the Carl Jolley Riding Toy Museum Estate Auction on Saturday February 18th, 2017 at the Rockford Auction Centre in Owen Sound. A complete online catalogue with numerous photos is available through the web site: www.rockfordauctioncentre.com
Until this image surfaced from the 1922 Hyslop Catalogue (available online), myself and a few other enthusiasts believed that no tank bikes had ever been made in Canada. CCM never offerered one. Does anyone have one of these Hyslop Motobikes, or has anyone ever seen one in a museum or private collection? Does anyone have this bike without the tank? The gas tank was an extra cost option, so I imagine few, if any, were sold given that we Canucks are a practical bunch. Any information at all would be nice to see.
