reverse steering CCM

what do you do with a plain CCM Imperial Mark II that no one wants?

you build a reverse steering bike!

now it's a good breed of parts... wheels are off an Ompax MTB, rear hub is off a 1965 Schwinn Typhoon, seatpost, cut stem, front steering column, front headset, chain and fenders are off a 70's CCM. the saddle is from an Opus and the steering gears are 70's Vespa transmission gears. I might also replace the bars for late CCM tandem bars. :)

When I read the title I visioned the rear wheel turning somehow.  The picture explains everything.  How's it ride?

Very simple Erik... when you turn the handlebar on the right, then the wheel turn on the left.. You know what I nean ?.

yeah, the rear wheel is not your tipical 3 cross pattern... I built it with the snowflake pattern.
