The $23.00 Bicycle/CCM Supercycle


This CCM Supercycle was being thrown out by a neighbour. With some help from Bike Pirates on Bloor and the Community Bicycle Network on Queen, it's been resurrected for a grand total of $23.75 and several hours labour. I haven't hooked up the 3 speed shifter but the bike's been out for a quick run and quite nice as a single speed.
