I just picked up a CCM bicycle for FREE from someone's front lawn, the had a big free sign stuck to the fornt of it. It is bright blue and has the serial number J192653. I can't seem to identify this as a serial number for CCM as many that I have scanned do not contain the letter J. It is a CCM Imperial 700 mens bicycle, with all original parts including the seat. Can anyone help me identify the age?

Most likely it was built 1968 but possibly '69. I had one of those which started with J, as well the Rambler 500.
