OK folks who out there has a Flyte (or two or three.....)?
Let's post some pics.
If your photos are located on a site such as Flickr etc.. you should be able to copy and paste them into the comment box. if they aren't, you can email them to me (john.mckenty@sympatico.ca) and I'll post them for you.
Years ago, I had a CCM Caprice 5 speed bike. It was lime green in colour. I forget where I got it from but is was in good shape. I tried to get my dad to ride it but he did not take to riding it. Like many of the bikes I have had over time, they ended up being pasted to others. I think is from the early to mid 1970's. I did not get a serial number off of it. I need to scan up the picture of it that was taken about 20 years ago. I will then post it here.
I looked on the seat tube on this CCM girls bike for the serial numbers and nothing. So where are they?
The rear hub says 1937 but I expect that's a patent year.
Where Where?
Has anyone repaired or replaced the rivets on the rear dropouts of a frame before? I have a early to mid '60s imperial mark 2, and the rivets appear to be coming loose. The bike is a bit on the rough side, but I would like to do it up for a new daily ride. Cosmetics/ originality ane not totally important, I just want to have a safe and reliable bike. If it comes down to a nut and bolt through the frame I will be fine with that, but I thought I would check and see if anyone else had some ideas or experience doing this.

Hello all
I have a question. The chain I just got working on my lastest CCM bike was old and rusty. A number of the inner rollerbearings have split open. The bike still runs OK but there is a bit of noise in the drive train. This bike is not going to be used on a regular basis other the short trips but what problems can happen to the chain in the long run?
Is there a current replacement bearing for the Star S33 bearing race found in a 1937 rear hub?
I wish I had a camera with me I didnt!
Spotted a cantilever frame Simpson-Sears JC Higgins bike in downtown Toronto. Looked to be based on a CCM Catalina style frame, and was unlike any US JC Higgins bike Ive ever seen. Did CCM ever manufacture this brand of bicycle to anyone's knowledge?
I have a 37 tradesmans bike also called a light delivery bike.
Do any of you guys know what colours they came in?
How many of these bikes are still around? Anybody want to guess?
I've got
