Use this forum to discuss all things related to vintage CCM bicycles including Rambler, Flyte, Mustang etc.
Need the help of those lucky Flyte owners. We are writing a historical paper about the 1936-1940 CCM Flyte.
Can you put your Flyte on the bathroom scales and let me know the all-up weight?
Also, any comments about how it actually rides with the reverse forks and sprung frame would be great.
thanks,
Chris.

I recently acquired this CCM bike from my Grandfather right before he passed away. He told me he bought it when he was 16 with his paper route money, he bought it second hand during WW2. I told him I was going to restore it and ride it everywhere, which made him so happy.
Hi All,
I was hoping someone could give me a list of all the 1965 CCM bicycle models...or better yet, brochure images.
I'd like to keep a look out for something from that year, but I'm not quite sure what CCM produced as I haven't really found a list or anything.
Thanks for any info,

Hi,
I noticed on the handlebar of my Rambler that the centre clamp area is not of uniform diameter. On the drive side (just right of centre) the clamp are is larger. I assume this was typical. However it is difficult to get the bar properly positioned in the stem clamp. The stem is original but very inflexible to expand to accomodate the bar. I didn't want to pry it open for fear of snapping it.
Picked this up at the bike show a couple years ago from Mr.
Fellow by the name of Ron is looking for more info regarding his bike. Particularly its age. It's badged a Cleveland 124. The fact that it's marked Toronto rather than Weston means it's probably pre-1917. It has a pneumatic cylinder behind the seat and a piece of spring steel behind the pedals making the rear end cushioned . Any thoughts?

My wife picked up a couple of old bikes from a local senior who got both bikes before he went off to WWII in 1939.
The mens bike was obviously a 1938 CCM with proper CCM head badge, and the womans bike was a Simpsons bike.
I have attached pictures of the Simpsons bike and the Simpsons headbadge.
The headbadge says "Simpsons" on it in cursive and above that it has "RIDEWELL" in art deco capitals. In the picture you can see the front letters clearly.
Sorry accidently deleted my previous post on this subject 
because having problems attaching photos . Trying again
