browngw Not sure if this would catch your eye...
FYI, the subject bicycles are a matching pair of 1972 CCM Grand Sports. 1972 was the only year for the fork reflectors. Unfortunately, they are not in OEM condition. The Grand Sports was a 10 speed, recreational, city bicycle. As such, it was factory equipped with a mattress saddle and upright handlebars. I also don't recall seeing that particular seat tube decal and wonder if it was a running production change?
Based on the 1975 license date. I suspect were converted to racing saddles and dropped handlebars by the LBS in an effort to move old stock, at a time when their style had been largely replaced by racing style models. Still, it seems a bit strange that they appeared to sit, unsold, for 3 years. Locally, there was no problem moving any bicycle stock in 1972 and CCM's recreational, city bicycles were popular throughout the boom with our middle-aged clientile, who wanted to participate in the cycling craze but desired, a more upright riding position.
