I am eagerly awaiting the arrival of this. I'm getting it off a guy that saves bikes from landfill near Hamilton,Ontario(Can). The cool part is all proceeds go to MS. I figure it's from the 20s but I'll know more when I get my grubby little hands on it. I also scored from him an odd-ball CCM road bike with Reynold's tubing and has a sticker on it that says made in France(?). Very light(but that's for another thread) Back to the 20s model. I wonder what the purpose of the double top bar is? It can't be that it would be too weak with out it. I have a 1924 model but single top tube and it's rigid enough. Could it be one of those "light delivery" bikes they used to make? I can't wait!

The dual top tube models were known as "Motorbikes". They simulated the early motorcycles where the gas tank sat between dual top tubes. CCM produced these models from WWI though to at least the late 1950s.
