I have been around this site for a while but never Intro"d myself. I am from Winnipeg and have been collecting old bikes for years. I have a good collection of British bikes, Rudge, Raleigh, New Hudson, Humber, Eatons Glider, and more. I had a few Balloon bikes but sold all but 1 of them. I posted it a while back "Raked n Kool". I did the frame around 4 years ago. I only finished it this summer. I find a lot of old bikes here and CCM bikes are in every garage. I had over 400 bikes in the last 10 years. Most I got from an old guy who gave me a lot of junky bikes and I fixed them and gave them to Value Village stores. I now have maybe 25 bikes, mostly 3 speeds and 4 speeds. I got back into the Balloon style bikes this summer. I am Rat Rodding any in usable shape. I am also building a Board Track Bike for the 2nd Buildoff "Massey Boardtracker" It will be unique when done. I also have a daughter who joined today "Dez" who will be building a bike for the buildoff "Jackz"I am having a great time on this site.
