This is the bike in question. I don't think i'll ever fix it, maybe rob the gears off it and somehow make em fit on another bike.

That is a completely different beast as that is a chainstay mounted derailleur and would not cannibalize that bike for parts buut look at restoring it... it looks like the front fork is rather bent and this is something many old CCM's seem to suffer from as their fork blades were not that good at surviving impacts.
It also has a very old style crank and probably dates to the 30's... a triangular spindle was used in the teens and twenties as were wooden wheels buut many of these wooden wheels were replaced with steel when they wore out so are very hard to find.
The CCM ladies models often suffered from seat tube failures.
Another note that is helpful for dating is that CCM abandoned using riveted head badges in 1965 and went to a transfer as you see on my now sold 1965 CCM Continental... I was told this was probably one of the last really nice roadsters CCM produced before their quality started to slide downward.
I still have the original Flyte saddle for the bike but would only use this as a display saddle as it is a vicious little torture device and the Brooks saddle is far superior.
