CCM Flyte at auction - estimate 300-500 CAD

[Frank and Pam Skid Kings]

I got the chance to ride a nice Flyte a few years back at Iron Ranch. Still think of it as the smoothest bike I have ever rode. Lucky new owner for sure.

Still a bargain in my book as long as you don’t have to pay an exorbitant shipping amount. One of the few middleweight bikes and only Canadian bikes I would own. V/r Shawn

Agreed Shawn,
I have one modified 1930s Canadian bike and it’s for sale.
The Flyte is the only middleweight and CCM that remains in my wish list.
There are plenty of old CCMs around here as they were manufactured locally, so a clean example can sometimes be a acquired for lunch money.
I’m not beholden to any bicycle brand and personally prefer American bikes, but CCM did offer a wide variety of durable and varied models over the many decades, so I can understand the collectibility.

It sold for $425.00 Canadian. ($322.00US)
Add 20% buyers premium $510.00 Canadian
($386.00US) and likely 7-8% Provincial sales tax.
I think the buyer did pretty well on the purchase.

I chased a rougher one on the spring from Kijiji that started the day at $300.00.
As the first to reply, I offered $500.00 and had agreement in principle, but vendor kept it posted and accepted offers beyond mine.
It was about 250 miles from me, so time was not on my side.

That was a steal!

Ya I would off picked that up, but just saw it now ( Lots of lesser CCM models from the 30's around but rarely come across a Flyte. Still only seen one in Vancouver.
