Description
Canadian. 1937. Head tube 6", top tube 8", seat tube 20". Original "Lucien Bicycle Service" dealer decals on seat tube and down tube. Head badge embossed, "CCM - Canada Cycle and Motor Co. Weston Ont. Canada". With period correct dealer's price tag. The rarest CCM bicycle produced. Despite being hailed as stylish and functional, the Flyte never became a big seller and its production ceased in 1940. Whether it was too expensive or the forks were too weak, in the end the Flyte's limited production has ensured its rarity and desirability among collectors. Unusual fork and frame design. Correct Dunlop chrome rims. Complete. Fenders repainted. Leather straps separated from CCM accessory seat bag.. CODE-BIKE
