  • What is the value of a CCM Mistral 12 speed?

    It's got Simplex Prestige Criterium derailleurs, Avocet Touring II saddle, Wheelsmith rims, Shimano 600 hubs, Maxy cranks, Win stem, Specialized tires, and Reynolds 531 tubing. It says made in Canada, most parts are French. White paint with red and blue decals, lots of chrome, fancy lugs. I think it's a 1964 or 73, not sure which. It's in good shape, weighs 20 lbs. Does anyone know how much it is worth?

    Thanks.

  • Where To Get Vintage Stickers?

    I have a vintage road bike called a Zeus and strangely enough It is missing one of the stickers. It is supposed to have one on the down-tube but it doesn't. Where could I get the sticker for it or maybe how could I copy the one on the seat-post tube and make it into a sticker. I want to make my bike as original as possible. How could I accomplish one of these ideas?
