Hi
New to the forum and new to vintage bikes also.
I just picked up this bike and was wondering if anyone can help id the possible year. The badge says Humphrey (which I read elsewhere on this forum was made by CCM). The serial number is 1A7129.
It appears as though a previous owner has cut of the top bar. Just wondering if it is worth it to have someone weld in a top bar and try to restore it or just clean it up and enjoy it.

It's a rebadged 1937 CCM Motorbike. The removal of the second top tube is lamentable and was probably done as an easy fix to obtain more standover height. Replacing the tube is a questionable operation. While it is a nice old bicycle, you would probably not recoup its cost of replacement in added resale vlaue. Fortunately, the dual top tube (and truss fork) were purely styling features, meant to mimic the early motorcycles.

Thanks for the info. Any idea on what the value might be? I'm not looking to resell, more interested to keep me grounded when determing how much to spend on any repairs or restoration.
Also, everything right now is painted (and poorly also). Would this bike have painted fenders to match the frame or would they be silver metal?

Thanks again for the help
