Use this forum to discuss all things related to non-CCM Canadian bicycles, including Sunshine, Werlich etc.
Hi everybody,
I'm new to this web site. I'm very happy to join this forum.
During le Grand Tour organized by Velo Québec in August 2011 , when I arrived in Sydenham,I noticed this ad about a Vintage Bicycle Parade that was to be held the following day. So I took a campground for two days instead of one. I attended to this show , bought your book on the History of CCM, and rode that quadricycle for two.
I was already a collector of antique bicycles, but it got from bad to worse...
Hi people,
I am restoring a CCM ladies one-speed.
It has 28 x 1 3/4 Dunlop rims and a New Eadie coaster hub. Assume those are original.
The bike was originally blue but repainted red at some point and I can't seem to find a serial number on the bottom bracket or seat tube.
The bike looks late 50s to me. If possible I would like to date the bike and also get a sense of what the original seat and hand grips looked like.
Appreciate any advice. Next time I will drop in a picture of the bike.
Cheers,
Ian Kinross

Hope some folks can make it out to this. Sounds like it's going to be a good event. They'd love to have some vintage bikes there. I'm going with my '39 motorbike.

1940 bicycle ccm good rider .sorry no head bage.
I went to pick up an old snowmobile a while back and was also given this basket case Hercules (I'm pretty sure that's what it is) along with a basket case Sunshine. I would like to fix them both up. As far as replacement parts go, like seat and handle bars, the best I can probably hope for is to find something that looks correct for the period. I may be able to salvage the wheels but they would need new spokes since the old ones are badly weakened with rust. Unfortunately, the head badge was only a transfer so there is very little left of it.
Hello Everyone, i have started yet another project. This one is an old Super Cycle badged twin bar. Here is what i know about it and i will also let the pictures speak for themselves. Serial number reads A97 93, upon removing the cranks and bottom bracket it read Walton and Brown 285 Made in England. Some of the lugs on the frame also appear to be stamped Made in England as well. After removing a few layers of barn re-paints the original Maroon Enamel with white/cream pin striping was still evident underneath.
Anyone have any info regarding the history of this particular company?
Thanks.
John
hey you folks down K-town way on Sunday Sept. 29 from 9am-1pm the City of Kingston will close the two westbound lanes of Front Rd. (between Lake Ontario Park & Days Rd.) for a few hours so residents and guests can enjoy a leisurely Sunday Cycle. There will be family activities at Lake Ontario Park and Centre 70, including live entertainment and the Cycle Kingston skills course. They are really hoping to have some vintage bikes on display as well. How about it? I know some of you down that way have some pretty sweet rides. Why not bring a few out?
