Use this forum to discuss all things related to vintage CCM bicycles including Rambler, Flyte, Mustang etc.
Here are a few I've found recently:
I recently bought a spoke lot. I really only wanted a couple things, but seller wanted it gone as a lot.
can anyone date these spokes? 15 gauge. Long nickel nipples.
Received the following request. Any suggestions? John
I don't know if you can help me. I own a CCM mountain bike that 20 some years old. I just peeled all the originbal stickers that were on it. The proble is the glue remaining on the frame that I cannot get off. I tried to wipe it with gasoline, lighter gas, rubbing alohol, carburator cleaner, diesel fuel, methyl hydrate, baby oil, varsol, paint thiner and acetone.
Nothing has worked so far.
If anyone could tell me what to use I will gladly appreciate it.
Can anyone tell me if the Flytes ever had the Dunlop, red stripe rims? I picked up a 1939 ,gal's Cleveland and it has an excellent set of these.
The ones I have on there now are definitely right as far as looks go, but they are not Endrick or Dunlop and are really too nice as far as matching the rest of the patina of the bike.
Cheers.... Wayne
Anyone recognize this bike.? Gentleman looking for info. I asked if there was a serial number, but he didn't say.
I found a Pastime bike today, double bar, brush paint. The badge is Pastime, no other makers or department store name on it. The serial number has 2 numbers then C and 3 numbers. CCM style BB with oval hole chainring.
I also have a Falcon double bar, British BB, E in second place in serial number, all blue bike with rims, fenders truss rods in blue.
Anyone know who sold these bikes.
There still seems to be a steady stream of old CCM's coming from farms on the prairies. I recently picked up this 1941 CCM Ivanhoe motorbike that surprised me because it is the first CCM Ivanhoe that I have come across, and the serial number indicates that it is a 1941, which is late for any of the separate CCM headbadges. It has high grade equipment on it (Dunlop W.O. rims and Gibson pedals), but only a one-piece crank. It may or may not have come from the factory with this crank.
I am looking to have a decal for my Sturmey Archer Sportshift recereated, I have read on here that some people have had this done and have recommended a certain person or company, any help would be appreciated?
Total newb to the club & ccm world. Bike obsessed nonetheless. I've come across a real beauty that is too small for me to ride.
the serial #G150 381. In viewing past posts I'm guessing it's a 66, the G code is odd? Ultimately I'd like to trade this one for one I can ride, open to suggestions/ advice. I'm not looking to profit from this bike, it's worth preserving as is. Now let's see if I can get my pics up!!
A 1948 loop frame bike is back and being enjoyed.
This bike was found beside an old 1950 Plymouth sitting in a yard in Sparwood BC, along with my 1947 mens CCM roadster. After striking a fair value for the bikes I brought them home to Calgary
The original rims were chrome plated with red and white painted center, the chrome was peeling off in large flakes, the steel rims perforated. Dunlop tires were worse shape as the tread could be seperated from the carcasses by pulling on them.
