Hello everyone - I'm new here...
and I'm looking for some help to rebuild an @ mid-70's Rambler for my missus.
After gleaning everything I can find on the net (including discovering this cool site) I've come up empty in trying
to find the length of the rear spokes for this bike.
From what I can determine the rim is an EA3, and the rear hub is a Shimano 333.
I saw that member T-Mar posted a chart for somebody looking for the spoke length of an 18" rim, but am wondering
I've acquired from garage storage, two CCM bikes, both I believe dating from 1947. The serial number on the Massey (blue) is partly obsured but it looks like an "H". Both were bought from a St. Thomas, Ontario bike shop and have the metal plate attached - Thompson Cycles St. Thomas Ontario. The Rambler still has the manual stored in the leather tool kit, along with a wrench. The Massey still has the original tires with Dunlop tubes (I've replaced tubes and tires on both bikes so that they can be used).
Looking for info on this bike
Hi
hoping to clarify on points of interest with CCM made supercycle bicycles and BMX frames.
Just picked up today. Very knowledgeable fellow (Blake Buston) on a Facebook Vintage CCM group has kindly informed me that it is a J.C. Higgins.
Just purchased this CCM bike. Any idea as to what model this is? Has been spray painted but original reddish colour showing through in places.
I am looking for a paint colour rock green. The bike was originally this colour but was painted red years after. Any help would be great on a code to repaint it. Also where would I find chain guard decals that would say CCM Scrambler?
Heip requested.
I've just dismantled my philips pedals from a 1942 ccm loop frame and want to rebuild them.
It appears there are different size loose bearings in each cone.
Can someone tell me which size bearigs go in which side?
Just got this CCM Brantford up on wheels and tires. 1900 or 01 CCM Brantford Red Bird Model 57 says racer on the head badge Has new wood rims and narrow 700x32 tires. Also has fixed gear rear hub. Correct front Brantford hub thanks to Brian R Now to get the colour right.
I saw the very cool photos showcasing a huge range of CCM memorablia on the home page. I wanted to post an updated photo photo of the double-bar with white-walled balloon size tires. It does the bike (and fenders) much more justice.
