Pope evidently had a deal with CCM as I've seen badges & bikes with both CCM & Columbia stamped on the head badge too but Pope owned the rights to the names Cleveland, Columbia, & many others from around the TOC.
Too much missing to restore it BUT to me it could be made into a GREAT RIDER to keep in the trunk of a car to use at a moments notice if you can get it cheap.
Try this link for the original format online. Much easier to read & you can actually see the ads.

AAAAA+++++ 5-star A+ transaction
Chris, Forgot to let you know I received the hubs. They are great!!!!!! Thanks for 2 great hubs, a smooth transaction, & quick shipping. Thanks. Gary
I like Joe & have bought items from him with no problems. However another CABE member had a serious problem with a bike bought from him. Add to that his descriptions are a little "gruff" and I think scare people away. His bike to me is nowhere near as nice as this one plus the Pogo saddle &...
He's already been BANNED from the CABE multiple times but tends to come back under disguise quite often to tempt us CABERS with his trickery & tomfoolery!!!!!!!!!
Listen to cyclingday on cleaning it. Congratulations & I agree that may well be the Auction Score for the year 2013!!!!!!!!!! That bike is absolutely beautiful as is, fix the few minor items & ride & enjoy it for many years to come. Make sure to go through all the mechanicals with new grease...
Here you go on parts…….

Westfield Mfg/Columbia bought out Miami Cycles & all it's brands around 1922 including Racycle. So what you have is a Columbia built 1950's Racycle. Nice bike, Congrats.
Musselman 2 speed with suicide shifter sold as original equipment. I believe John has a thread on these & is making replica shifters if I remember correctly.
Just a suggestion since it is for your Wife, you may want to consider getting a 3 or 8 speed rear hub to make pedaling easier. Most women I know hate single speed bikes. I use Shimano Nexus rear coaster brake hubs & love them for ease of pedaling and the twist shifter. While not correct, they...
Be on the lookout for a good quality used ( like Park) stand would be my suggestion. On the book I'm sure it's a good read but Sheldon's site is FREE, put that money toward a better stand and a tension meter.
MY OPINION ON THIS THREAD & THE CABE IN GENERAL
Give an opinion on anything you want to, we live in a free speech country last time I checked
Buy what YOU like & can afford
Don't worry about what others think of your purchases OR opinions, they are yours not theirs
Don't expect everyone on...
Buy a truing stand and a spoke tension meter, you don't need a dishing tool but you DO need to insure you have enough tension in your spokes. If you stay in this hobby they will pay for themselves if you only do 2-3 sets of rims plus you will receive great satisfaction in knowing you built your...
Original colors for the Chief were ivory & rich cherry red only for all years. The yellow color you commonly see on these is yellowing from almost 100 years of oxidation of what was originally ivory in color, almost white in color. Same with the brownish red. When I removed the orange house...
Ended up buying 2 so double what I thought.
1915 Sears Chief which was on my short wish list
circa 1956 Girardengo Twinbar which was not even on my wish list but I truly love it
For 2014, shooting for one off my still short "Wish List" which as of today includes:
Indian motorbike...
