Super-Bike

[Cheesy]

Hey All !! First time entry here!

This one won't be some crazy custom bike, but more so a restoration on an ultra rare 1969 Marshall Wells Anniversary Special Super Bike (CCM Made).

Picked this bike up several months ago, but only getting around to it now. So far, I have only stripped it to the frame (this morning).

Here are a few pics to get started....As purchased....current state....and my inspirational pics.

Much like Jay.....I had plans to enter a previous bike, but got in a hurry to build it . Here are a before and after of that one for your viewing pleasure (at end)....

Cool starting point, gotta love the rare CCM stuff. It looks like a Charger frame all dressed up. That double crown fork is something else! They did one as a GTR model for Canadian Tire.

And then there's the duomatic Charger

Welcome aboard Bob. Glad to have a fellow Canadian builder and friend join me in the build off!!

Man, I'm getting excited by the amount of Canadian bikes in this year's MBBO! I don't see many of these bikes down in the States, so it's cool that I'll get to learn more about these bikes from you guys! Looks like you've got a sweet project to build! Can't wait to see it all fixed up and riding again! (Also, love the Swing Bike in the background!)

Hey Matti....definitely similar to the Charger frame just a little shorter. More like a Mustang frame, with Marauder forks.

Love the Chargers and GTR's.... been looking for a Duomatic to compliment my 3 speed

Thanks man! Looking forward to restoring this gem.....I'm kinda partial to the Canadian muscle, as thats what we grew up with....but love them all.

Holy moly that's a lot of Canada right there! I've got a CCM lined up for the summer Build Off, not anything special, just a step through from the sixties, the family history is worth more than the bike. There seem to be more Canadian bikes in this one than I've seen before

Awesome!!!....And yes, knowing/hearing the history on individual bikes is certainly half the fun. I've restored a few bikes for some locals, and my decision to do so was all based on the story/history that went along with the bike

Pulled the seat apart this morning to rebuild, then remembered my brother-in-law borrowed my air compressor..... will have to sandblast and paint next weekend...

Frame got sent off to paint earlier this week. Figure I'd pull together some NOS parts while I waited on paint and safe return of my air compressor, so that I can finish up my seat.

 

[Cheesy]

Just got word yesterday, that my paint is done....Excited to pick it up!!

Managed to get the seat pans sand blasted, painted, and recovered today.

Also got my rubber mounted on rims today as well. Decided to go with a NOS Lion Slick....Love this tire!

 

[Cheesy]

Got frame back from paint....definitely not what I asked for, so a little disappointed....Oh well....Just going to go with it, as the paint itself looks great, but it is definitely not "Flamboyant Red "

 

[Karate Chicken Industries]

Looks more Industrial than Flamboyant. Even so, it looks durable.

Ya.... the painter really messed it up good.... not impressed. I even gave him another frame that was actually Flamboyant Red.....pointed at the perfect paint on fork stem, as said ..." this is exactly what I want".

I debated about bringing it elsewhere and having it repainted, then just said "Fu@# It"

 

[Karate Chicken Industries]

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I usually suck it up on a fool me once anymore and let Karma take its course on the offender.

Still, it looks pretty darn good.
