Hi all. Found an old ccm and its really rough. Frame is solid and fenders are decent. Just really rusty. What i wanna do is upgrade crank assembly since it doesnt have one. Been stripped i guess years ago.. so question how do i know what crank and bearings to use? Its not threaded on either end. The pipe that takes bearings is 2.5 inches in length and the id is 1.5. Thats all i know so far. So am lookin for assistance. Thanks. See pic for reference.
I have built a bike according to a friends wishes using the frame and assorted parts included. The wheels are 26 x 1 3/8" (590). It looks like these are incorrect for this frame size. Although a "balloon" tire would look better, I think this bike was spec'd with 28 x 1/2" (622). Your thoughts??
Does anyone have an idea as to why the pedal strike may be uneven on this bike. The chain pulls tight on the drive side down stroke and loosens up on the upstroke. Everything is aligned. I find it hard to think the chain ring could be the cause...
Anyone have the rare CCM ranger chain guard or at least know where i can get the PANTHER decal?
Can anyone advise me as to the model and year of a woman's CCM serial number 4N3885.
Have a C.1940 maroon CCM bike, was ridable then took it apart and lost a piece of the rear hub so I will give it away for parts if you pay the shipping.
Does anyone know the correct Decals for a 1940 Flyte? (My frame is Maroon)
Does the C.C.M. FLYTE have a thin black line around the letters, or just solid gold? (Logo "O" or "P" above)
Would the Seat Post downtube be Logo "C" or "D" (See above for Gus's Decals)
Hi to all, i found this gorgeous Tour du Canada on the net and could not resist in buying it . It is in very pristine condition and all the Campagnolo Nuovo grouppo is in perfect shape.
I'm putting together a c.1920 Gendron 855 CCM ladies bike.
The little metal badge insert is rusted. Does anyone know what colour these inserts were in the teens and '20s? Were they always the same colour or did they vary depending on model? year? frame paint colour?
What about the badges - were they nickel plated? See the photo - I'm wondering what it looked like originally.
I bought a 1940 Flyte 8 at a farm auction in Saskatchewan. I'm going to put back to as original as I can. I'm slowing removing the green paint to the original maroon underneath. I have bought a couple other CCM's to use as parts(1937 & 1939). The bars & stem that came on the Flyte 8 are on the left. Are these correct, or should I use the stem on the right?
