Here's the story. I've been looking to buy my wife a bike to learn to ride on for quite some time now. She's rather small in stature, so finding something the right size for her is quite difficult. I found the perfect bike for her in the form of the cm250. Turns out I was in school with a guy who knew a guy who might want to sell his 'little bike'. After a few text to the guy, it turned out to be an 84 cm250. Perfect! He wasn;t sure if he wanted to sell, so he said he'd keep in touch if he decided to sell. So it was for a few weeks. Then, out of the blue I get a call while I'm at work. The guy says the bike is mine, all I have to do is go and get it. Seems he broke down 100 km out of the city. So, that night, took a trip out to the described location, and there she was.






After all that, the problem was the chain had popped off... Wow. She needs a lot of work. But for the price, she can't be beat!

Now, does anyone know of any good forums like this one for these bikes?

I've also got an 84 CM250, cool to see another cm, everytime i mention it people think i have a speech impediment or something and assume I'm saying CB.... uh no its a CM pretty similar but its not a CB haha

I've had mine for about 3 years, but have never found a good site with info on them.

Mine is belt driven, but you should have a good bike, It's the most reliable bike I've had. I'm about to sell it for something else, and i know i will most likely never have a bike as reliable as the cm250
