CCM Westonia

My friend, Don Farmer, in Montreal has been looking for a CCM Westonia for some time. The Westonia appeared in the CCM line up around 1953 and was available for about 5 years. It was offered with either a Sturmey Archer 3-speed, or with a Cyclo Benelux derailleur and a freewheel block. The Westonia frames were made with Reynolds 531 tubing and had cut out Haden lugs (the same lugs that were used in CCM's standard line up during this time period). I am convinced that CCM simply made use of their left over "Flyer 51" road frames to offer the Westonia, once the Prolite road Flyer entered their line up in late 1953. All of these road Flyers from the 1950's seem to be as scarce as hen's teeth, as is the Westonia. If anyone has any ideas about where I could find a Westonia for Don, please let me know.

Thanks,
