Ooh, Rapido, that's a Canadian bike. They were the 2nd tier, their designs were always similar to CCMs. That Springer fork however, is really cool, haven't seen that before

I never knew about that automotive connection, I'm going to have to look into that. I always assumed they were made in Montreal. I'll ask my Canadian bike history guy...

Rapido was a Czech JAWA and CZ line. The name was owned by them. American JAWA & Skoda/JAWA motors Ltd Montreal brought them in. I always thought they were made here. You guys taught me something about my neighborhood today
