Hey folks,
I've spent some time working on this bike and have had it for a number of years. I've riden this on many occasions and it's just lovely if not a bit heavy of a gear ratio.
There's front brake for this as well, that matches the rear, and still would need some missing clasps fabricated to mount it to the fork blade as per the original.
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew if this bicycle is a CCM? The head badge is painted or stenciled and it has the word "cycle &" in it. I have included some other pictures as well as the serial number. It also has a Dunlop D7 saddle, oil port in BB and front hub, pump pegs, small (looks like a glass) refector in rear fender, headset nut is notched, and has a Perry hub.
All the best, Daryl
I'm selling my very nice 1967 Imperial. It's in great shape. The chrome and paint are very sweet. Rides like a dream.the seat and pedals are not original, but the originals will be included. The front rack is included. The rear rack and bell are not. Will also include a NOS CCM 26" hoop.
$100. pick up in Toronto.

Hi, all. I picked up this CCM Lightweight 3-speed at an estate auction. It has an H serial number, which from what I've seen here dates it to 1954. I haven't been able to find many references to the Lightweight model, and I'm hoping someone here can tell me where it fit in the CCM lineup. Who would it have been aimed at? Would the plastic fenders be later additions? I appreciate whatever you can tell me.
I wanted to ask if anyone here has been in touch or heard from Ron Miller recently. I am trying to order some grips from him and usually he is right on the ball with his return emails
Thank you

Hi, I've got a 1967 CCM Mustang that I'm looking to clean up and get riding again - however, the spokes are shot and there is no chain. I'm wondering what size of chain / sprocket size this bike used (I noticed modern chain wouldn't fit, the links are too small / narrow.) I'm also having a heck of a time finding spokes for these size rims. I've got a 'Paragon Stud' 20 x 2 x 1 3/4 tire on the rear, and a 'Veith Extra Prima' 20 x 1 3/8 tire on the front.
I broke the steer tube on a 1938 26" wheel frame. Everything on the bike indicates it is a balloon frame the first year they were made. However this fork doesnt have to correct curve and has a deep chrome cap over the crown. The catalogue says the crown is aupposed to be enameled.
From looking through photos it looks like the fork is a generic replacement or maybe from a late 40's or 50's balloon ccm but i dont really know. Maybe it is original?
Anybody see a fork like this around?
Thanks in advance
I bought this Cleveland at the same farm auction in Almonte where John picked up his Ivanhoe Model 60. I believe it to have all its original parts. I thought it was black, but a friend who helped clean up the paint insists it's dark green. I'm a little colour blind so it's hard for me to tell. I wonder if black paint might look greenish after aging for 118 years. I thought I'd put this in the CCM bike forum because it was made by one of the five founding companies that made up CCM. The hub is a fixie - no coaster brake - and it has straight spokes.
An early photo of a CCM Ivanhoe 60 cushion frame. I bought this bike at an auction today just down the road from where I live. It was complete except for the lamp which the family says might still be in the house. They're going to check. Will post more pics when I have them.
