i snagged up on a couple bikes yesterday. an old canadian 3 speed, made for the simpson sears company and an old 1962 raleigh.(62 stamped on the hub)
the raleigh says canadian, but theres a letter thats almost completely worn off. i'm assumeing it says canadiana.
i looked at the 1962 raleigh catalog and theres similar bikes in a smaller size, but no canadiana.

its got unusual sized rims (rims say "dunlop 28x1 1/2" followed by the words "canadian size")
its a cool old bike in need of some serious help, but i'm looking forward to it. i think this will be my base for the rrbo4.
before i crack into it, i was hoping you guys might be able to shed some light on the raleigh canadiana. (if that is indeed what its called.)
any info/help would be greatly appreciated.
thx
