Use this forum to discuss all things related to vintage CCM bicycles including Rambler, Flyte, Mustang etc.
Received the poster for this year's Canadian Vintage Bicycle Show from Jamie McGregor. It's to be held in Brantford on June 24th. Jamie is a member on the site here and I'm sure will keep us up to date as the event approaches.
For those who are looking ahead, I really recommend you keep this date open. I went for the first time last year and had a great day. It's a well run event with friendly people and bikes you'll just never see anywhere else.

Yesterday, I went into the country to talk to a fellow about some old bicycles he was supposed to have. Well, he did have some old bikes.
I waided through crotch deep snow to get at as many as I could and took as many pictures as I could in the time the impatient owner would allow.
I have a 37 flyte with a english threaded bottom bracket and a ccm cotter pin crank. I also have one with a ccm triplex crank
Im going to put the two together to make one nice one to keep and Im wondering which one to do it to?
I posted this on thecabe and someone there suggested it might have links to CCM
It does look like the 1930 Heavy Duty I found in this forum.
Any ideas?
I have been collecting vintage bicycles for a while now, and have owned several old CCM road bicycles, roadsters, balloon tire steeds, and the like. Presently I have early to mid seventies CCM Tour du Canada and a recently acquired 1939 CCM "Road Racer".
My first post. Glad that there is now a CCM forum although after 20 years I'm getting out of bicycle collecting. Which brings me to my question. I'm selling off my collection, some of it CCM including a wooden wheeled Cleveland. I have an tentative agreement to purchase at $400. Is that about right? My concern is that it may be worth more and I don't want to give it away.

I have a 3-Speed Club Racer that I purchased from Eaton's in Ottawa, in the 1950-52 era.
I have some pictures that I can post if any one is interested.
Question.......should I consider restoring it, or is it worth the cost and effort?
Any Input would be appreciated............thanks

Hello, I was hoping if someone could tell me if the rims on this cleveland are original? They do not look like regular ccm rims. I know the hubs are ccm... I can email some high resolution photo's of the wheels if that helps.... I have never seen a Cleveland before, so I am not sure...... Thanks, Dave
I was looking to see if someone might have some information about the Marshall Wells dep stores. I know they used to brand a lot of their stuff Zenith. Bicycles were CCM made. I was wondering if there's a catalog from 39 that show the bikes they have in store or maybe a CCM catalog from 39 showing similar bikes. They probably didn't came with the same options but I'm trying this avenue.
Almost finished the restoration and thought I would share some pics of my 1941 CCM Flyer Track bike. Found
