This going to a long road people.... I don't rush anything and I have other stuff going on and I am always broke, so strap in for the ride!
Here is the outline of my latest creation......
The concept is to use an original 1940 CCM Flyte frame & replica curved fork as the base to build a modernised, sleek, clean, usable, comfortable custom roadster.
Complete with disc brakes, belt drive, 7 speed rear hub, hidden cables & full thin painted fenders. Using quality, highly polished aluminium components, no carbon fibre & little or no chrome & plastic. Using no genuine CCM parts other than the frame.
So that's the basic flexible outline. First lets define "Flight of Fancy"..... here are some definitions from online dictionaries....
"an idea, narrative, suggestion, etc., which is extremely imaginative and which appears to be entirely unrealistic, or impractical; thinking which is very speculative."
"an idea that shows a lot of imagination but is not practical"
"an idea which shows a lot of imagination but which is not practical or useful in real situations."
"an imaginative idea or plan that is pleasant to think about but not at all practical"
So I think I fit in quite well there..... right on the money.
I already have three CCM Flyte bikes. One is being built as a mans bike all original apart from the colours. The second is getting build like a racer. The third I am making a ladies version that the factory never built. I have build threads on the last two over at the CABE but I think this new "CCM Flyte 2020's" build thread would be better here. I might get lynched over there by a respectable mob of CCM owners!!
Plus I think there might be some good outside the box thinking going on over here that might well help this custom build and concept develop.
Lets get after it!
