They made a movie about Giuseppe View attachment 923459View attachment 923458View attachment 923453
His bikes are that good. Trained in Italy, then emmigrated to Canada, has been making fine quality in Montreal for decades.

CCM

CCM​

Canada Cycle & Motor Co. Ltd. Established in 1895 as a consolidation of four major Canadian bicycle manufacturers: H.A. Lozier, Massey-Harris, Goold, and Welland Vale. Bankrupt and absorbed by ProCycle in 1983.

Hard to call CCM high level - aside from some of the bikes they made back in the 30's and 40's
