Has anyone ever heard of a "Canada Dry" bicycle?

Question

I moved into my new house and found this green and white bike with the soda name and emblem on it. I have never heard of such a thing so I was wondering if it was rare or a collectable? Does anyone know anything about a "Canada Dry" bicycle? I have searched it on line and found nothing, not even on ebay....

Answer 1

I don't know specifics (although I know that others on this forum do), but there are companies that will throw various brands on a bike.  I doubt that there's anything special about this one.  I had one a couple of years ago that said CocaCola.  It was just your garden variety big-box store bike.

Does it have any posh components on it like Campy or upper end Shimano?  Then it might be something.

Answer 2

It is most likely a bike made by Pacific cycles for some contest.

Yet,many people,even myself have put labels from a bottle on a bicycle.

It might help to know what components are on the bike,or maybe some pics.

Answer 4

What a cool find ;)

It probably was a prize from the sponsors at an athletic event.

Sponsors would have it custom painted to their specs as a sponsored prize.  Here is a link where you can contact them and ask them personally:  http://www.canadadry.com/

It should have a make or model # somewhere on the bike (eg:below the handlebars or just past the seat post (on main frame)

Answer 5

Right now the bike has little value, if it is kept in pristine shape it might be in 20yrs who knows.

Answer 6

Sorry, I can say how unique and collectible it may be. But, it's not uncommon for companies to have a small number of bikes ordered from a manufacturer with custom pain and logos. I hang on to it myself.
