Two years ago to the month I stopped at a local flea market and scored a 50's CCM in ridable condition (I rode it to check my mail just today even ) for 50 bucks. Yesterday my son and Istopped in there and the same vendor had this for 80 bucks,after a good chat about bikes (and military servic,the older gentleman and myself are both vets :wink: ) he dropped the price down to....50 bucks,LOL!
It's not a Columbia,that tank isn't original (and not quite a perfect fit). IDK if the pics show enough to see it,but "ROADMASTER" is written on the chaingaurd...
24" wheels if you couldn't tell also. any ideas on what it is,when it was made? It will most likely be Spring,but I want to rebuild this one,as close to original as I can manage. I lurk here lots,post little (since I've never actually rebuilt or ratted a bike,only building up/maintaining my much mre modern bikes,LOL! ),but I am as far as teardown on my first bike rebuild (not this bike,it'd be next on the block)...the point? Not doing it to flip,but to enjoy. Thanks.
