Period

A PRODUCT OF THE CANADA CYCLE & MOTOR CO., THE LARGEST MFR. & SUPPLIER OF BICYCLES IN CANADA UNTIL THE MID 1950'S. CCM WAS FORMED IN 1899 THROUGH THE AMALGAMATION OF FIVE CANADIAN BICYCLE MFRS. IT ACQUIRED THE COLUMBIA NAME FOR USE IN CANADA WHEN IT TOOK OVER THE NATIONAL CYCLE CO. IN 1901 OR 1902. THE COLUMBIA NAME HAD BEEN MADE FAMOUS IN THE U.S. FROM 1879-1900 BY THE POPE MFG. CO.

Function

A VEHICLE FOR PERSONAL TRANSPORTATION OR RECREATION FOR ONE PERSON

Technical

THIS BICYCLE HAS WESTWOOD STYLE STEELRIMS & A BRAKE SIDE ARM WHICH CCM BEGAN USING IN 1926 BUT LACKS THE GOLD SUNBURST DESIGN ON THE HEAD TUBE & ENDRICK CHROME PLATED RIMS IN USE BY 1934. IT WAS PROBABLY NOT THE TOP-OF-THE-LINE ROADSTER BECAUSE IT HAS RUBBER PHILLIPS RATHER THAN GIBSON ALUMINUM PEDALS.
