CCM Concorde Appreciation
I do not know if they have CCM bikes outside of Canada.
Schurrmann rims on Shimano aluminum alloy hubs. Aluminum alloy brake callipers and levers. Proto chainrings and cranks. Simplex Prestige derailleurs and levers.
And, of course, low-end Reynolds 531 tubing.
CCM (Canadian Cycle & Machinery) is known more for hockey helmets and hockey sticks than for bikes but they used to be competition for Raleigh, Peugeot, Canadian Tire, Eatons & Sears when I was a kid. The CCM bikes had a great deal of longevity and there are lots of old heavy CCM Capri, CCM Elite and CCM Targa bikes from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s still in service all over Canada.
The CCM Concorde bikes were a little more expensive.... this one cost $12. The cost of crappy old 10-speed bikes like this one is wildly inflated around Toronto because it costs students over $100 per month for a transit pass (!).
