I have owned the Formula one since1968,. This was new in 1969,bought for my 21 birthday. Just starting to clean it up after many years in storage (not me, the bike).hopefully I can obtain helpful information over the next few month. With the covid shutdowns, the CCM has provided me something to keep me busy.

The CCM Formula 1 was only produced for the 1972 model year. The 1968 10-speeds were the Gran Turismo and Grand Prix.

The Formula 1 was produced during the year that the bicycle boom exploded. These bicycles had a lot a factory subststituted parts. This can make it hard to determine exactly what was factory spec. However, it was only an upper, entry level model and the parts found on a Formula 1 were also used on a myraid of other bicycles. Consequently, it's typically not too diffcult to find good condtion, used parts.
