Wasn't really in the market for another bike (I live in an apartment, so space is limited), but saw this guy looking sad at a garage sale. It only cost me $25, and possibly my relationship.

It's a...

I really struggle with maintaining a good cadence. I definitely tend to prefer to mash at a low cadence and have to be really conscious to try and correct it. As soon as I stop paying attention, I...

Thanks for the information, T-Mar. Doing an image search for Carrera's, I agree that seems like a likely candidate. It could very well be that the downtube shifters aren't original - their placement...

My 198(x?) Kuwahara Apollo. Got it in the spring and have only just recently gotten it into a more or less ridable state. It was pretty beat up. Still needs a bit of work, but didn't want to invest...

Hi everyone,

I was hoping to get some help identifying this CCM road bike. It belongs to a friend of mine who inherited it when someone close to him passed away last year. My friend would like to...

Oldshovel has a bunch of restoration videos on YouTube, and he often gives the old bikes a new paint job. Retro inspired for sure, bright colours and fades, but I think they look great if that's your...

CCM and SixThreeZero Bikes?

Hi all,
A targeted ad (get out of my head, Google!) showed me a CCM City Bike that Canadian Tire is currently offering on clearance. I've been reading up a lot on the history of CCM recently and so...
