This supports each factory retaining their own tooling.īased on the fenders, the frame appears to be for a balloon tyre model. For instance, it's worth noting that CCM didn't adopt the curved/cantilever seat stays, as seen on the OP's bicycle, until around the time that the SCP factory was closed. My suspicions are that SCP only moved over to CCM tooling when it was excessively worn or broken.Ĭonsequently, I wouldn't be surprised if the design for the OP's frame was carried over well into the 1950s.
