CCM track frame - real?

I asked seller for more pictures - posted as thirties track frame, CCM. I only know of CCM Flyer and I don't think it came in this color
Do you guys think it is real? If anyone knows what is it and perhaps have a picture of how it looked like complete?

I read ad one more time - it says powdercoat. While powdercoating was invented in 40s (if I am not mistaken) - don't think a lot of manufacturers used it (Belgian Bertin is the only one I know of). So I agree and think it is repaint. Still hoping someone will recognize the frame and shed some light on what is it. Ad mentions it was owned by local racer. I was thinking may be it was custom build for him but he raced in 60s-70s and frame according to seller is 30s (it does not look like 30s to me)

Hi, mongol777-

It is a repaint. Flyers were typically painted in sapphire blue. The rear dropouts look original and the single plane fork crown looks like an original CCM. Check this site for a refinished Flyer that shows the metalwork clearly. Ask for more detailed photos from the seller.

Thank you! - I've been to the site many times :-) Site is the reason ad got my attention - hoping to have Flyer in my stable someday. Funds are limited at the moment so frameset for $120 seemed like a no brainer. But repaint kills the appeal to me. I may still go check it out if seller sends more detailed pics of the lugs, BB, all the small parts and frame checks out to be a real Flyer.

Also - could be my imagination or angle/lighting of the picture but seat tube seems to be off (like slight bent or something)

Need more detailed pics. I've seen Flyers in Blue, red and chrome. Frankly the only thing that looks like a Flyer is the forks. A serial number should be stamped around the seatube lugs and you can look up the exact date.. The pencil stays should be open at the top. The seatpost diameter should be 1 inch.The chainstays look totally wrong. Also, Flyers only came in 21 and 23 inch sizes unless they are customized and that looks big.. Stay away without many more details. Maybe talk to shop owner John at Jet Fuel coffee shop in Cabbagetown...he's got a discerning eye.

Check the link above. Jarrod sold the bike, I believe.

The bike in the OP is obviously a fairly recent powdercoat. But it is probably legit, the fork appears correct.
