73 Supercycle 3 Speed Project Update
This bike belongs to a friend at work. He bought a house last year and the bike was left behind in the garage. It looked to be in a sorry state. After disassembly and a good clean it appears that the bike has spent most of it’s life unridden.. Originally equipped with a Shimano 333 hub I plan to replace with a Sturmey Archer rear wheel. I’ve posted about these bikes before.
A strange CCM/Supercycle hybrid.
Work continues.
After dis assembly it became clear that this was a very low mileage bicycle and had spent most of it’s 40 yeras stashed in a gararge. I decided to leave the Shimano 333 hub on the bike to preserve it’s originality. Other than time, the only costs on this one was $40.00. two new tires and a chain. The photos don’t capture the true colour.

Hello, Enjoy your posts… Have a few 3 speeds myself. What method do you use to press out the crank cotters?
Thanks

I have the same bicycle as well… looking to paint it the same colour but it’s a little difficult to find something like that

Yeah, I think it was a 3 part process. A base colour with silver and then a transluscent top coat and then maybe a sealer.
Not easy to reproduce at home.
