Barn Find Roadmaster and CCM's

[HotRodRob]

I literally went into a barn in the sticks and bought these from a farmer. The first one here is a 52' CCM 28"er. I think I may turn this into a trike.

Next is a 49' Ladies CCM 26" Ballooner that someone put skinnies on a some point. Check out those peeked fenders. This one is going flatblack with hot pink wheels, whitewalls and hot pink scallops on the fenders and some chrome goodies splashed here and there for good measure.

And last is this Cleveland Welding Ladies Roadmaster. She's seen better days. Not sure how to date these. The serial # is A31868 and has a New Departure Model D rear hub. I am thinkin this ones getting stripped of the bars ,fenders and ND hub.

I live in canada yet i'm never able to find any of those neat CCM like the men's frame. Only mass amounts of Raleighs lol maybe it's because I live in the capital. I need to raid more barns! though my eyes caught two old bikes with braces on handle bars leaning beside an oold well at a camp site. i'll investagate them some time

Trust me, these finds are few and far between in my area too. I hear ya on the Raleighs, its like their breeding or something. I'm getting a little tired of finding the ladies cruisers though. My wife only wants one bike :? so I don't really need all the chick bikes, yet they still find their way to my house :lol:

Majority I find are men's frames and I use ladys as doner parts lol Alot of silly people here find these old CCM like that one you have and think they are a pot of gold lol you should see what some people charge for a "Trash" picked rusty junker lol sometimes more then what I sell a fully restored bike for. I only sell the female framed bikes most the time lol my oldest Raleigh is a 1939 Sports
