I have an friend with a 1950's CCM Standard Motorbike frame (see pic). The serial number is an E-code which should be circa 1953. The curious thing is that the lower top tube is horizontal, while the upper top tube is the bent, camelback style. Between us, we have 1950, 1951, 1953, 1954 and 1958 catalogues and none show my friend's frame style. I have seen other 1950s CCM Motorbikes in both frame styles, though not many. Does anyone know the date range for my friend's frame style and why it doesn't match the catalogue illustrations?
Hi there. I am new to this site, one main reason for joining is that my 1942 Rambler has no serial number on it. It is simply stamped with '1942' on the seat tube where the serial number should be. Im of course assuming it is a '42 but has anyone ever seen this on an old CCM. As far as I have ever seen or heard there is always an actual serial number.
Thank you very much. Looking forward to hearing feedback.

Well I just received this stuff I found on Cragislist, from Indiana of all places!
One crappy CCm bike (with sort of a cool chain guard) but the Pixie motor apparantly runs. I also go a mostly complete second motor with tank, missing a few parts but also a few extra baubles.
Gonna clean it up, the tank has stuff in it that should be taken care of, mount it on a nice 26" CCM balloner i found at a car swap and fire it up!

I was wearing horseshoes when I picked this bike up. Does anyone recognize the model?
22-20" frame, enamel rims, maroon matching the frame, and white pinstriping all around. 28" wheels, 50T crank.
Everything but the saddle and handgrips looks original.
Hi,
I just received this bike from my brother in law who knows I'm into fixing up old bikes. There is no badge on the front and I can't find any name on the bike anywhere, other than ccm on the handle grips. I'm just curious if any one can tell me roughly the age of the bike, or other information.
I'll provide pictures below,
Thanks
I found this bike for sale in an antique store, Lavoy, Alberta. Well under $100. XXXXXC, not bad shape at all. It came with fenders and original seat. Both items undergoing repairs. The rims are unmarked Westwoods, SS. They take a 700C with only light shoehorning. The original tires were Dunlop Imperials 28 X 1 1/2". The frame is a 22-20".
Picked this up in my travels. Perhaps 1947.
sadly, the first four pages were removed. Would have been an interesting read.
Hello to all viewers. I am a senior, and from time to time acquire a bike, clean, fix up and resell.
I haven't purchased older bikes until recently. I was asked to sell a couple of original, one owner bikes for friends, and was suprised with the interest that ensued. As of late helped a contact in Halifax acquire an Eatons Glider here in Toronto. Just had it shipped.
To my specific item: I acquired a 77 ladies CCM elite. Not rare, but this one is very good, little or no rust and almost original.
is the glue used to install tubulars on to aluminium ok to use on wooden rims. also the rim now has no finish on it what should i use .the orginal finish was what i believe to be shellac. thanks william rudolph.
Hi everyone,
Don asked me to say "hi" to everyone he met in Brantford. He also wanted me to post a few pics from his collection. They include a cushion-frame bike (black), a 1957 Standard Cycle Products Sturmey-Archer SW 3-speed (blue), a 1952 Cyco Sonic (orange), and a 1951 3-speed club racer (baby blue). Enjoy!
