I recently discovered a teens Hercules (not New Hercules) friction drive hub with a brake arm. In my research I found this photocopy that im including here for future reference. I had thought it an anomaly but it seems it was actually a factory upgrade as per the bottom paragraph.
Hello all. Great site. I have a couple of CCM's. This is my recent fine. I believe it is between 1908 and 1912. It has a cushion frame and a skiptooth chain. The rear hub has no brake arm and the head badge reads Toronto. The serial number is 230072 and hud patient no is 106391. The fenders are wrong. I have not looked to see if the wheels are metal clad. I would like to nail down the correct year of the bike if anyone can figure it out. I will now try to post so pictures. Thanks
I picked up a garage kept Rambler 500 the other day with original tires and all. Been stored for 55 years. Through my searches to find out more about this beauty I came across your website and would love to share some pictures with your collectors gallery. Yet to see a rambler this original and clean.

With the doldrums of winter here, I finally have some time to share my CCM Flyte restoration that I’ve been working on.
This bike started out as a rough frame that had been painted with red house paint and minimal correct parts.
I chose to meticulously scrape off the red paint to expose the original cream and black paint. As you can see, the original paint is rough. I had debated whether to sandblast and paint new but ultimately decided that, as they say, “It’s only original once”.
Hi folks, i normally resore roadbikes from the 70,s and 80,s but had to snag this vintage CCM when it popped up on Craigslist. I checked the serial number and it is a 1939 bike. Have not figured out which model yet. I,m out on Vancouver Island
Anyone know if a 1939 Flyer would most typically have an English threaded BB? So left or NDS threaded right-handed and left or DS threaded left-handed?
Hoping someone can suggest what crank puller or tool is required for removing the 3-piece cotterless crankset on a CCM Flyer? Thanks
Hi There,
Picked up this CCM Flyer frameset and trying to learn what I can about it and how best to restore and find matching components (wheels, stem and bars, pedals etc). Any insight would be most appreciated. Serial number on top of seat lug is 2C9689 and letter "P" stamped on left rear dropout. Someone brazed on a rear brake fitting so that will be the first thing to remove.
