Hi Guys

I picked up a 3 speed Imperial Mark iv CCM last year.It has a sturmey archer twist grip shifter and the aw hub is marked 63. The bike is in very good shape and is gold coloured with crowns all over it. I find there is lots of info around on the old English bikes but I am finding it hard to get info on the old CCM'S.I was wondering if there is a good source of info on theses great old bikes.These were quality machines probably comparable to there English cousins. Please can someone help me with info on these bikes. thegonzoal@hotmail.com
Thanks,
Alonzo
