The double tt models are freakishly heavy and am sure they were made with extra thick gaspipe... I weighed my frame when I had it stripped and it was 5 pounds with the bb cups in place. The brazing work was also very well done which speaks to CCM's good quality standards in the pre-war era.
I come across a fair number of old CCM's here and am looking to build up a few more in a similar manner.
Anyways... enough with the thread hijack.
