I finally got going on my 1948 CCM bicycle project. After a search through my photo database revealed I had had the bike for 5 years now, I made some inquiries into reputable painters. After I chose one, I disassembled the bike and sent it off for a re-spray.
I’m pretty happy with the results, I have to say. The “wheat” rims really offset the black frame.
The next step will be to get a multi-speed rear hub, and get both rims re-spoked. Then I wouldn’t mind finding a pin-striper that can apply 2 thin lines to the rims on either side of the spokes, just as was done originally.
There’s still a long way to go, but new paint is definitely a great start.
