this is my first bike, a 1936 CCM Flyte
didn't know what I had, and passed it on for wayyyy to cheap, it was 20 some years ago
I only have actual real copy pictures of it .... yes kids, real pictures

Really a cool style.My Dad must have wanted one of those.He was from Tecumseh Ontario,born 1923.He was quick to mention CCM bikes whenever I'd mention the Sting-Ray

Started with this 1989. This is what I got hooked on 1928 Elgin switch tank ......I and still have it. I bought it from the original owner who could barley move it he told me the story of the #4 painted on the tank..

When I got divorced in 2002, I started looking for something to ride off a few pounds (That part didn't work!) and found two Schwinns, listed by the same seller, locally on eBay as pick-up only. Being as they were close, I stuck a bid on both of them figuring I might end up with one. I ended up with two.
These are them:

74 Typhoon

Ratphoon

75 Speedster

Frankenbike Speeedsteray
This led to my need for a 12 step program.
My name is Roland and I am a bicycle addict.

The very first was my beloved tricycle , but the bike that started it all was my 64 Deluxe Stingray I got Xmas morning in 66 as a used bike because my family couldn't afford a new bike , I cried when everyone on their new bikes laughed at my worn Xmas gift , little did I know it's value as it was to become as my best friend as we went from stock to chopper to BMX " stages together

As can be seen from this foto from the '80s, this guy had some serious issues. I mean, c'mon, a license plate?!
Anyway, this led to an 1884 Columbia, then the rest is as they say, his story.
