Hello, my name is Valerie and I'm new to the bicycle world! I recently purchased an old CCM bicycle in order to repaint it, I am curious to know from what year the bike is! I will add a picture of it!

Can someone help me?

Thank you in advance!

Valerie

Ps: the cable is in the air because I had removed the tape holding it and didn't want to break it or anything!

Welcome to the forum. CCM started using that style of head badge in late 1976 and continued it's use through to their demise in 1983. To determine the actual year will require the serial number. During this era, it was typically stamped near the bottom of the non-drive side of the seat tube. 

BTW, the handlebar stems looks dangerously high, unless the previous owner has installed an extra tall stem.  Typically, there is a minimum insertion line engraved onto the quill of the stem. The stem should be inseted far enough into the fork to cover this line.
