Hi,
I just completed service on this 1961 Rambler or what I think is a Rambler. Any thoughts. Serial# starts with a "B".
It was refinished by the owner several decades ago and now they want a proper paint job. Any thoughts on where I could find the correct decals for it?
Thanks and take care, Daryl
Has anyone seen any different ways CCM mounted the wheel in the fork on the curved fork CCM Flyte?
I have seen the axle cutaway in the "side".... ie to the down side of the fork when in place, forward if you pulled the fork straight).
I have also seen a style that has the wheel in the end of fork with the cutaway in the middle,... ie with metal taps above and below the wheel when in place. Has anyone seen this type before?
Hi,
Does anyone have any suggestions, tools or magic for removing the drive side nut holding the chain wheel to the crank on a 1961 Rambler?
The large dust cap prevents me from getting standards tools to take a good bite.
It looks to be right hand thread, but most forms say left handed?
Thanks and take care,
Daryl
Hello all! So i ws driving today doing some errands when i came across a used bike shop. Whatcaught my eye were the 2 ccm right out front one a 1935 mens roadster all oringinal except no badge and different back fender. The other was a 1941 roadster all pieced together with different parts, but cheap. Guy wants a;ittle to much for the 35 then i thinks its worth. I went inside and found this old wooden rim race bike, very lightweight frame but super thick tubing, head badge is a W made out of copper. The front hub says ccm, and is 1/4.

Hello to all...
This morning I bought a CCM for $5. unfortunately, the bike has been repainting by a stupid jobber, no badge at all . So, I scratched with a knife on a side of the seat post and the number serial says " 3H1957.. so i'm wondering what is the year of this bike and probably the model.. unfortunately i have no picture to show :( no camera sorry ....Of course, i would like to know the year if it's possible ;) thanks you guys.
