Use this forum to discuss all things related to vintage CCM bicycles including Rambler, Flyte, Mustang etc.
Howdy folks..........Around about what year did CCM start producing the infamous double bar? When was the last year for the doublebar before the switch to the "camel back" single bar? Am I correct in thinking the doublebars were pre war?
This weekends Flytecycle .Up cruising the lakeshore road off Lake Erie.
Thanks Gt
On Sunday off of a scrap metal picker's truck I horsetraded for what I think is an old CCM camelback but the serial number doesn't fit into the charts. It is badged as a Majestic, had really nice pinstriping at one time, darts and arrows too, something I don't often see on CCM. But yet it looks CCM to me. The serial number is 596500......no letter at all.
Folks often use the Contact option on the website to inquire about the age, value etc. of their bikes. Sometimes I can help: often I cannot. When that happens I usually post it to see what others think. Below are two recent pieces of correspondence:

Hey guys I have this old 2 wheel rat rod and I am wondering what year it might be.
I recently picked up an old CCM bike at a G-sale and am looking to find its approximate date of manufacture. It is a 5-speed bike and looks like it is all original. Serial number is D357379
I recently found two vintage CCM 24 inch bikes, one badged CCM the other was a National. Both not in too bad shape, I wondered
what the problem was until I tried buying tires. 24 by 1 and three eighths is impossible to find here. The one bike shop directed me to a health and medical supply company.......my only option was gray wheelchair tires at 35 bucks a piece. Are these size tires really that hard to find?
Any body help me with getting a reasonable condition badge for my 47' CCM. Thx gals and guys.
Denny.
