One of my vintage projects from last year.

This is a 1943 or a 1948 CCM Roadster Rambler (youth size). I can't know for sure because the key digit in the serial number is poorly or misstamped.

This bike is in immaculate condition but was not all original when I got it and I cannot source tires.for the original colour matched rims. So I didn't little bit of a custom mod. The chrome is all flawless on this one so

Bars have been flipped and wrapped in tape, wheels swapped for steel chrome rims that are slightly larger because I can get tires for them, new tires, new chain, road bike saddle (need to get a nicer saddle someday), both the original hub/coaster brakes and the ones installed have been rebuilt, headset rebuilt and bottom bracket/crankset rebuilt.

The original wheel set is all rebuilt and hanging in the garage incase I ever source some nice tires that fit.

This is a fun one. It's way too small for me to ride comfortably but I still take it on the odd cruise or to work (I'm working as a bike mechanic so it's only fitting).

Just waiting for the day that someone brings in some fun vintage bikes for me to restore at Velorution 😉.
