Need to fight it 1983 supercycle ultracat peice of Canadian BMX history.

Did a little digging around, found something at the cabe about that bike that might interest you. According to the thread, there was a twin model from Venture meaning it might have come from that Raleigh factory up the highway
"A Canadian built bicycle called Aero by Venture, which is similar to a Ultracat Supercycle 1289 (another Candian built bike). The only difference between the two is the serial numbers. The Aero Venture starts with LY354XXXX (which is what mine is) or LY91XXXX. The other very similar bike the Ultracat im not sure of the Serial#. The first Aero Venture was sold at a store called Zellers and the latter UltraCat Supercycle was sold at store called Canadian Tires. Supposedly Venture were made by Raleigh at their plant in Waterloo Quebec (I’m not quite sure), but if so then I am assuming they both were as they are similar bikes. "

It's pretty darned complete too! Right down to the painful plastic seat! Compare it to this stock Ultra:

How can I not for 40 bucks interesting Canadian spaceliner made by CCM for Sears.

MattiThundrrr · Mar 23, 2023

I've seen the CCM version before, but never the Sears. Crazy amount of similarities. That peaked front fender looks straight out of the CCM catalog. I think I like the lower top bar better than the CCM, looks more sleek

This is the CCM version notice the fenders are the same

It is the same frame the CCM is an 18 inch and the spaceliner is 16 the difference in the tube is caused buy using the same jigs just place the bar in different places. If you look at CCM camelbacks same thing witch is why the seat stays are bolted on depending on size. This was to save money.Both were made here

In Weston Ontario the CCM plant it's closed now and Weston is a shady neighborhood in Toronto
With bikes mounted on the street lights.

I know a guy that will work for. Seeing other similarities, check out the stoker crank on my tandem

Are you going to switch it over to a CCM? That would mess with some heads, get all the CCM marked parts. But the frame says hotrod to me

I rekon its taken a hit in the front, use the old BMX trick and turn the bars n wheel 180 and bounce it gently on the front wheel, it should bend em back to straight! Really rough I know but thats me LOL! may have to remove the front fender to do this.

Hey if it works who cares

Another option is to take the wheel off, turn the fork around, and gently bend it back with a ratchet strap wrapped around the seatpost
