It's 2008 and I now have a 75 year old bike.
My 1933 CCM cruiser is now 75 years old.
It will be getting a full paint and chrome restoration before spring... all the mechanical work has been done and it rides beautifully.
It's also another bike I saved from the crusher.

So this is the before photo?
Is the two tone thing original? Oh, and we need closeups of the chain ring, of course.

EH - This is the before picture...the bike should be burgundy with white fenders and chain guard.
The chain ring is classic CCM and I just happen top have a pic of that too.
I have a "new" chain ring for the bike as well...it is running a 52:18 and the 48:18 would be more suitable for a cruiser.
Mind you...I have blown by roadies while riding this bike as it is quite light and once those 28's get rolling the bike can really fly.
