Use this forum to discuss all things related to vintage CCM bicycles including Rambler, Flyte, Mustang etc.
I want to contact the collectors in the Maritimes in view of setting up a show/ swap in a central area possibly Moncton or Truro or ???. If you are interested, contact me at bmwchev@msn.com. In any event, it may open up the chance that those fairly close could visit each others collections. I am in Truro and Parrsboro
Cheers, Wayne
My method of removing oil and grease from old hubs, bearings, etc. involves using a spray can of brake degreaser and a toothbrush. Besides the cans costing $7 or so, it's smelly and takes forever, not to mention what breathing that stuff in might be doing to my long term health. Can members please share their other techniques here? Is there a liquid parts can soak in or a cream or gel product that can be applied overnight to make quick work of it?
Posting for a friend. Can anyone tell me the history of this chain. I don't have any other pictures but this is from a CCM Bicycle. Very unique. Large-small-large-small tooth pattern and chain to match.
Thanks and take care,
Daryl
Hi, I'm new to the forum and I'm hoping to get some information on a bike I'm looking at buying. I haven't had a chance to see it in person yet.
It looks like its been repainted at home with letters stuck on it saying its a flyer. The seller says their grandfather used to race it in the mid to late 30s. It looks like the pedals have been replaced and possibly the stem? Is it a flyer?
Any help would be appreciated.
I bought this over the phone thinking it was a 1923 ladies bike and I could acquire some hard-to-find parts for my early men's CCMs. It turned out to be a 1927 girls CCM Cleveland so the fenders, rims, and saddle are unusable on anything else. It will join my growing list of bikes that need fixing. The rear fender has the holes for lacing, so I thought it was missing its chain guard.
I was just given this bicycle from the original owner, who grew up in Ontario. Thanks for the contact information, John!
He was told that it was a CCM "test" model and he told me it had sat in the store for a couple of years before he purchased it in 1967. The 1965 poster indicates that the 1965 green racer was new to their line-up that year. This bike is chrome and originally had no decals on it. The store owner put a red oval CCM head badge decal on it at the time of sale.
I came across these at a friend place. He has 2 pairs of these pedals. This pair has been re-nickled. What year are they from. These are the only ones I have seen. Would love to get a pair of them.
I was cruising the ilses in a antique mall when I came across this sign and had to buy it.
I plugged it in and it lite up.
Any idea what year it ws introduced ?
