CCM Ranger?

Submitted by OldRider on Sat, 03/26/2011 - 19:55

This RANGER badged bike was purchased new at HBC in Winnipeg in the late 30s, in my mind its a CCM built bike but not 100% sure, it looks identical to CCM bikes of the same vintage though, except that the serial number is under the crank. The badge resembles a Meade Ranger badge, but it surely can't be that. Can anyone confirm what exactly I have here?

Nice looking bike, OldRider. Glad you were able to get the photos posted. Hopefully, we'll be able to determine if indeed CCM made a Ranger. Your bike would certainly seem to indicate so.

Thanks very much John, I'm looking forward to any information you folks can provide!

I answered my own question yesterday. I blew out my rear hub so I had to disassemble it to see what happened, the inner guts of the hub were clearly stamped CCM, and I know for a fact the hub was original to the bike :)

I love how ever little part inside those hubs are numbered and stamped CCM. Have you noticed the CCM embossed on the heads of the spokes too. Man, they pretty much made everything themselves.
