the TdC looks also very dull, with no special touch whatsoever.
it just looks like everything was made by underpaid and abused workers
and whoever designed them probably had an equally dreadful time at the company............
nobody's surprised they were among the first to just de-localize production to asia.
ccm is synonymous with worst crap ever.
every time i see someone coming in with a CCM at the bike coop, I sigh and roll eyes.... because I know every single part on it was the cheapest, the most cursed-after mechanismes...
again, sorry. there is really no such thing as « ccm appreciation » for me !!!!
Wow. That escalated quickly !!
I guess at the "bike coop" they must get a lot of new CCM bikes.... which are made somewhere else.
The low-end
Canadian-built CCM bikes were notoriously ugly but inexpensive and practically immortal.
And some of the better ones did have Campagnolo components and Reynolds frames.
When I go to visit people who live in the "The World-Class City That Has a Buffoon For A Mayor" I still see lots of 30, 40 and even 50 year-old CCM bikes still in use.
