This is not an article to show you how to fix anything at all. No, just a short article to share with you the new bike in my small collection. My friend Louis contacted me two days ago whether I wanted an old lady CCM for 40 or 50 years absolutely gratos? Two nanoseconds of reflection was needed to find the answer, YES!
I determined the year of manufacture with the serial code I found on TLC this site . I do not know if the series goes the same way after 1960, so if someone has the answer to this question, do not be shy to tell us.
I love the curve accentuated framework that allows a woman to be able to straddle the bike in spite of a great dress. Although this bike was manufactured in 1950, it is the same design that was developed in the late 19th century and which has enabled women of the time able to move freely at high speed. This new mobility was an important part in the emancipation of women in the late 19th and early 20th century.
I have no predetermined plan for this bike now, but I desire to keep the original finish and I have to replace the wheels that are at the end of their useful life.
UPDATE:
Good eh bin there, I almost finished the restoration of TLC. I miss him a beacon for before I receive it soon. I rebuilt the wheels with rims modern 26 ', while keeping the original hubs. It's more a custom than a true restoration job, but it makes me happy. It rolls pretty well:)
The next
