I am so glad that there are other CCM fanatics out there. I was beginning to think I was the only one. There aren't many of us on Bikeforums.net, Oldroads.com, or the C.A.B.E.. I have been at this crazyiness for approx. 25 years and have amassed a few CCMs(52) over the years. This site is a great idea because there isn't a whole lot on the subject on the web. We can put some order to the history of this great Canadian company. Ride on!!!

Goodday all  I collect a lot of different "things" & my main theme is "MADE IN CANADA"  My first love is antique gas engines & one of my favorites is a "Russell" circa 1819 Automobile engine. I have a few C.C.M. bikes--A Cleveland 1B2131,a Cressant T11342, C.M.P. A1564 & a C.C.M. 79E321--all in as found condition. I also collect sales literature & catalogs on anything mechanical & have some pre 1900 bike  items, Also I have a small collection of bike name plates that includes some N.O.S. C.C.M. & off brands used to retag.

Hey gang.Just got into the vintage bicycle thing kinda by accident.A body man by trade one day I was delivering a car to an old farm and when I got there the old guy was cleaning out an old shed that was half  fallen down.I took a quick look inside and saw a little green mustang.I told him I had one of those when I was growing up.He said if I wanted it to take it away because he was going to send it for scrap.Well when I was putting it in the back of the truck the old guy gave me another ALL PRO girls bike to go with it.Now I have 6 bikes and do yard sales on a regular basis.

Just came across this site in the last few days. Looks like a great resource for collectors and those who admire Canadian bikes.

Hope this community grows as there is little information currently available for CCM bikes, despite the long history.

I have ordered the book and look forward to reading through it as well!

Hello everyone!  It's Erik here, and I'm new to the vintageccm site and forums.  I stumbled across this after attending the show in Brantford (totally awesome) and couldn't resist signing up.  I've got a thing for riding and fixing up rusty old CCM's, so it looks like I will be right at home here.

Hello from the Virginia coal fields

Hello all,I found this site while trying to find information on a recent bike find (CCM,of all things,LOL),and thought it would be neat to join,as it looks like a decent group.

 

Anyways,Husband to one wife (soon to be ex),Dad to 2 kids,37,disabled vet (though my injuries/disability didn't come from militery service),drove a truck long haul from coast to coast after service (that's where they came from,the truck,and a co-driver who liked to sleep while driving,haha!),and now like I said,I'm "retired" (disabled).

Hello All. I am a old bicycle nut.. I like all makes and models. but mostly pre 1950 stuff. I have a few ccm's. one of my regrerts was selling a gt101 with the 2 speed hub . I have got a 1946  cadet  ladies biike, about a 1965 camel back and a newly aquired 1930 Clevland double bar (camel back). I am in Prince George BC, old bikes are hard to find here as, i think the first paved road here was 1962. .This is a most interesting, site lots of good stuff. I will be trying to pick your brains about my 1930 and others. Brian

Canadian Pickers

Submitted by John on Wed, 04/20/2011 - 13:18

OK 'fess up. Who watches American Pickers? I must confess the first couple of times I watched it, I didn't much care for it. But as time went on it grew on me and, now, well I guess I'm hooked.
