I picked this bike up from a friend of mine a while ago. He had it listed for sale on KIJIJI and it just sat there. He collects CCM and I finally called him up and said I'll take it. It's not all there and I don't know much about the history. It doesn't have the typical fireball seat or shifter, so I'm wondering if the parts are original or if it was sold this way as a different model in Canada.
I have some options with this thing since I have several different NOS shifters that would suit this bike. I might even make it a 5 speed with a Sturmey Archer NOS 5 speed hub. I have a few that are waiting patiently to be used on a build.
I already took care of the paint and opted for something slightly different, a coppertone candy metallic. It came out much better than I imagined and the pictures truly do not do it justice. Thanks again to my buddy Dale for his beautiful powder coat.
