    My Oldest Balloon Tire Yet...ZEP!

    Sure don't see many of these in Canada. In fact, in the 8 years I've been playin with bikes it's the first I've seen, and the guy I bought it from had just brought it the day before from the U.S. My initial plan was to buy it and flip it but plans have changed. I love this thing! Not sure if...

    Bridgestone Penny Farthing and CCM Parts Cabinet

    Stellar oddball scores this weekend! First I picked up this mini penny farthing made for Bridgestone. Only ever seen one other one before and the price was right, so I had to have it. Would love some more info on this bike if anyone has any. And then I picked this up from a shop that is...

    1951 CCM Hotrod Fixie

    I did this build back in August, but haven't had internet to keep an updated build page so this is going to be a barrage of start to finish pics. I had collected all the parts for this build over time but when my cousin was over for a visit, he saw the frame and asked what the plan was for it...

    40's Rollfast

    I've had this little beast marinating for some time now. It's time to ressurect this baby. Gonna start tearin it down tomorrow and blasting all the house paint off of it. Thinkin of goin with a brushed bare metal look with some awesome pinstriping.

    Been A While

    Hey guys! It's been a while since I've been on here. Since May. :oops: Forgive me! I was really busy fixin my house up and selling it and moving out to the country to a new house. Now I have some property(compared to the city) and some room to work on all my projects. With the cold weather and...

    1950 CCM Ballooner

    This was an awesome find in very nice original condition. Paid way more than I would normally spend, but they just don't come around in this kind of condition. The Meguirs #2 is really doing a number on this thing. Its getting blown apart to do a "Ratrod" style detailing as we speak. Pics of the...

    This Schwinns A Keeper

    Although I have had a few Schwinns, they were all newer cruisers that were just flippers for me. I havent come across a good enough deal on an old one yet to make me buy it. However, I couldnt pass this one up. I had to have it, and its not for sale. Havin my buddy in Ottawa scoop it up for me...

    Does Anyone Know What This Is?

    I got this with a bike I bought about 2 years ago and it finally surfaced again on my workbench :lol: It was on the handlebar. Not sure what it is or what I should ask for it if I sell it. The inside diameter of it is 1 inch. Some enlightenment please!

    Swapmeet Tankers

    Got this pair of girly tankers off the guy that painted my Flyte. Figured they'd be good for parts unless my 2 girls show interest in them. First up is a Monark built Rocket with New Departure rear hub and Torrington bars. Next up is a Rollfast with Bendix rear hub. Just to clarify...

    CCM Lamp

    Ok, I saw this posted on vintageccm.com and I had to repost it here. A fantastic idea for any kind of hub! http://s917.photobucket.com/albums/ad20 ... UB%20LAMP/

    Fat Flyte ( It's A Rider!)

    Well, I'm getting tired of seeing this bike being ignored by my work bench so I think I am ready to get started on a most likely long drawn out build. I don't want to rush this and I want to get all the details just the way I want them. Although this bike takes 28" wheels, it is getting fitted...

    Dyno Fixie at Wallyworld

    Has anyone else seen this new Dyno Fijo at Walmart? It has 700c wheels with a flip flop hub. Even has cool little chain adjusters on it. The cleanliness of this bike really intrigues me. I wish it was cheaper. $249 here in Canada. I really would just like to steal the wheels off of it for one of...

    Aluminum Trike and a CCM

    Got these at the Canadian Vintage Bicycle Show today. No idea who made this tricycle so any help would be great. I also picked up a 71' CCM Grand Touring 3 Speed which I have never seen before. Kind of a boring frame but neat having the sport shifter.

    Mid Week Garage Sale Raleigh Score

    I guess this guy down my street was hard up for cash mid week, so he fired up a garage sale. Works for me! Being on 12 hour shifts has its perks I guess. The seat on this beast is what grabbed my attention. A Brooks Professional. But once I started looking closely at all the parts, I think it...

    Just Another CCM From HotRodRob

    I found my unicorn and nothing jinxed me. I thought for sure someone or something would ruin this one for me but it didn't. 1937 CCM Flyte. To me, this is the 32 Ford of CCM's. So now I have one. It needs full resto including some frame welding due to a crack. I don't think the fenders are...

    THE CANADIAN UNICORN

    I hope I'm not jinxing myself by talking about it but tomorrow morning I am setting out early to pick up what is one of the rarest Canadian bikes ever made. These NEVER come up for sale around here at a decent price and I was the first one to reply to the ad. I'm not gonna ruin the surprise yet...
