CANADIAN TIRE BRINGS BACK BLAST FROM THE PAST
By Adnews Staff
Canadian Tire Corp. Ltd. of Toronto is putting the CCM Mustang Bike back in its 2001 bicycle line-up. Also known as the "banana bike", the metallic gold coloured Mustang will be available at all 441 Canadian Tire stores in Canada. According to the retailer, the bike is part of a trend towards "retro" products. The CCM Mustang was a best-selling item in the 1970s. In addition to the banana seat, the bike has hi-rise handlebars and a low-rise sissy bar. The return of the bike will be promoted in the retailer's weekly circular distributed to 10 million homes nationally. The CCM Mustang will also be featured in the retailer's 2001 catalogue to be released next week. Canadian Tire also plans to make the CCM Mustang available online at <http://www.canadiantire.ca>.
