I just got home from picking up this little jem. I've searched all of the usual spots for a serial # (lower seat post, bottom bracket etc) but have yet to turn anything up to confirm the year of manufacture. I bought it from a guy who owned it since it was new in the '60s and he obviously took pretty good care of it. There is minimal surface rust which should clean off no problem and there is a tear in the seat but besides that it appears to be 100% complete. My favorite part is the duomatic hub. I just got my first one earlier this year and I love how they work.

So, I haven'tbeen on here in a while, and some of you may recall me restoring a "ccm cobra". Turns out it was a supercycle cougar x-500 which I wound up trading for something else. However, recently I got an e-mail from someone who was selling an actual CCM Cobra, and I picked it up!
Received this photo of a tricycle you pedal with your hands from Jamie McGregor. Anyone have any info on it?

greatly appreciated.

The 2014 edition of the Vintage CCM calendar will be available by the end of October. Thanks to everyone who sent in photos. The calendar contains images of 16 different vintage CCM bikes owned by 16 different enthusiasts. Thanks to Dave Brown for allowing us to use his photo on the cover.

Did CCM do what the American bicycle manufacturers did during the war years with blackout hubs, cranks and chainrings? I came across an old ladies loop frame bike that has no screw holes for a badge( I know they used decals during the war) and what appears to be all un chromed parts. I'll send pics to John and hopefully he can post them for me. Thanks for any info.
