Vintage Canadian bicycles

Use this forum to discuss all things related to non-CCM Canadian bicycles, including Sunshine, Werlich etc.

Canadian Bicycle Manufacturers 1927-1959

Attached is a chart compiling all  bicycle manufacturers listed in the domestic bicycle industry reports issued annually by the Canadian government for the period of 1927-1959 inlusive.  The reports were concerned primarily with economics but did include other statistics such as production volume and number of employees. Before anyone asks, none of the statistics are broken down by mannufacturer, so there is no indication of how many bicycles CCM produced in a given year.

Ladies Sunshine

Gentleman looking for any information anyone may be able to provide in regards to this bike model. Thanks,

VINTAGE MAJESTIC

It is time to sell this entirely original boys Majestic bicycle. It is in excellent all original conditon with a beatiul leather saddle.

Wooden Rims with Metal Liners

I picked up a early twenties perfect loop frame which has a very nice set of metal lined wood rims. Eadie coaster rear and ND front bub.

The rims look very rideable. The po respoked the wheels.

Whats the general consensus on riding 100 year old rims? Or should they be kept for show only?

The bike itself is a repaint with no original parts and a damaged bottom bracket

Recommended tire pressure?

Thanks in advance

Did Anyone Here Buy this McCready at Auction?

I hope to find the new owner of this 1890s McCready Ladies bicycle that sold at an online auction this week. I have a Henderson Ladies bike that was built alongside this McCready in the same factory in Goderich, but mine is missing its wheelset. If possible, I'd love to see the McCready in person to look at the hubs.

 

Dutch Cycles

Long Shot

Fellow looking for information regarding these two frames. Anyone recognize anything?

 

Assistance to understand bike

I came across this bicycle while cleaning up my mother in laws estate and would like to know more about it, if possible. It would be nice to verify a range of years, true manufacturer, things of that nature. I am not expecting it to be valuable, not in great condition but learnig about it would be nice. Thank you for any information in advance.
