Standard Cycling Products of Toronto

Submitted by Dough Boy on Tue, 04/16/2013 - 13:14

I am looking at a 40's era bike, it took me a while to identify but it is a Standard Cycling Procter bicycle made in Toronto, I cannot really find any information on this company, and am weary of purchasing it if I cannot find parts for it...

 

Does anyone here know some of the history behind this company and their bikes?

Reproduction early 20th century bicycle tires

Submitted by portdalhousie on Mon, 04/15/2013 - 21:04

Hello,

  I want to purchase some repro bicycle tires for the WW1 era.  Photographs, illustrations and manuals show either white or off white tires.  I see both white and cream colours are available, but I was wondering what experts feel better represent the look of this period.  White or Cream?  Thanks!  --David

I'd like to thank Ron for sending along the wonderful photos of his head badges. I decided to post them here as well since I had to reduce them a bit to put them on the front page. They came with the following note from Ron:

Jamie's Collection

Submitted by Mark McGuire on Sat, 01/12/2013 - 15:32

Jamie,

This is a great collection for reference. Thanks.

Now I believe all of the top row are prewar.

Also I know during the war CCM used a decal, I am not sure when they started with the decal (I don't think it was the start of the war).

I believe post war they used badge 'N' ,as I have labelled , in 1947 until 1949.

I think in 1950 they began to use badge 'O'. All you experts please help. The rest I am not sure of.

 

Thanks,

Mark
