Hi lasauge,

It looks like a 1970s CCM from Canada. Possibly a Turismo model.

The lugs match several CCM models: Turismo, Torino 76, Pursuit 5, and Concorde.

The rear dropouts are also a match for CCM.

There appears to be a sleeve at the top of the seat tube, where the seat post is inserted. It is not really a sleeve. Again a match for CCM.

The serial number location and format is the same as a Torino 76.

I think the fork is not original, but I am not sure.

Behind the BB shell between the chain stays there is an oval "tube" for mounting a kickstand. On your frame this appears to have been cut out.

Looks repainted to me. Two colour paint schemes where not common in the 1970s.

Many CCM headbadges where riveted on. I don't see any rivet holes on your head tube.

Other CCM decals where stick on and easily removed.

CCM made most of its frames in Canada. Parts came from Europe and Japan.
