My trip to Winchester

A while back a gentleman by the name of Ron got a hold of me to tell me that his neighbour, Mike, in Winchester, ON, south of Ottawa, was selling off his vintage bike collection and I might want to take a look at it. Well I finally made it to Winchester this past Sunday and met these two fine gentlemen.

You see Ron is a truck driver, turned bicycle mechanic, who got his neighbour, Mike, hooked on collecting vintage bikes. Mike is a salesman who spends a lot of time on the road. What Mike could find, Ron could fix. It was a frienship made in bicycle heaven.

CCM Double Bars

Howdy folks..........Around about what year did CCM start producing the infamous double bar? When was the last year for the doublebar before the switch to the "camel back" single bar? Am I correct in thinking the doublebars were pre war?

CCM Serial Numbers

On Sunday off of  a scrap metal picker's truck I horsetraded for what I think is an old CCM camelback but the serial number doesn't fit into the charts. It is badged as a Majestic, had really nice pinstriping at one time, darts and arrows too, something I don't often see on CCM. But yet it looks CCM to me. The serial number is 596500......no letter at all.

We get letters.....

Folks often use the Contact option on the website to inquire about the age, value etc. of their bikes. Sometimes I can help: often I cannot. When that happens I usually post it to see what others think. Below are two recent pieces of correspondence:

Looking for approx date of manufacture

I recently picked up an old CCM bike at a G-sale and am looking to find its approximate date of manufacture. It is a 5-speed bike and looks like it is all original.  Serial number is D357379
