Hi,

I am trying to identify this bike. Any information would be valuable to me including age and possible value?

Many thanks!

Evening and welcome are there any date codes on the wheel hubs or brake calipers ?

Nice and tidy looking

Smart. Post the frame number on here, that helps tie down what it is

Yup Peachy is you man for anything CB related, just started a YouTube channel as well, not a lot on lt at the moment but there are a couple of interesting videos.

Any photos of the other side of the bike, chaimset and rear derraileur?

Im going for now with late 60's, most likely a Corridore - the large flange wheels were only on the Corridore and didnt reappear until the late 70's, and the simple chainset design only marks it out as a Corridore rather than an Electron Super 5.

That's not 100%, but I reckon a fair guess. The mudguards do look like the type CB were fitting back then, but wouldn't be original if it is a Corridore.

Looks mid to late 1960’s possibly a Coureur.

That self-tapping screw on the left-hand dropout is in dire need of shortening. Better still remove and re-tap the hole.

There's markings visible on the rear hub, but not clear enough to make them readable. What are the two pieces on the top tube, above the pump handle in the picture

Second Drago's request for a shot of the drive side of the bike.

Early 60's Challenge?
