Second bike to date

Submitted by C. C. Schultz on Sat, 08/10/2024 - 08:16

This is the second bike I have to date. It has no crest or items identifying the manufacturer, so information on that would be welcomed as well. It had been owned by an artist in Dresden Ontario. She had been gifted it by an elderly lady friend who had used it to get around town in her youth. All the parts on it look to me to be original, the handle grips have reflectors on the end and it has a plastic bicycle licence for Chatham On from 1965. It had been repainted just prior to me acquiring it in about 2020.

And Just When You Thought.......

that I wouldn't ever come up with more headscratchers.......here's another poor misused vintage CCM. Any thoughts/suggestions/clues as to model year and model would be greatly appreciated. Just a thought but with that yellow paint and those "industrial" double bars, could this bike have belonged to the RCAF during WWII ?? The painted a LOT of their equipment this shade of yellow for visibility reasons.....including the planes used in the Commonwealth Air Training Plan.

Another Headscratcher !!!

OK, all you CCAM gurus out there......here's another one for you to sort out. This belongs to my wife's 1st cousin and ger husband thought it would be nice to find out more about this old CCM. After making the serial number appear from under the 3 coats of paint, I was sure someone out there on this board would help me help him. I sure was surprised to see Inoue "Tyres" on a bike this old......unless they were replaced somewhere along the way ?? Also, would that have been a Brooks or similar leather saddle on this bike originally ??

CCM 1961 child size bike restoration

Submitted by Vanisland5 on Fri, 03/15/2024 - 12:31

Hi, I picked up this neat little bike for FREE off the street and thought it would be a fun project to get it running again. First problem is how to disengage the chain connector link, there is no larger space to push the plate in to and it appears to be a "push on or snap on" fit (??). The other side of the link has "W Germany" stamped on it...any ideas?

Thanks!

Ottawa license plate

Submitted by Chilidawg on Sun, 02/18/2024 - 15:26

I just got this plate and was wondering how it would have been attached. I would like to put it on my vintage CCM Imperial II. Does it go on the front or back wheel?
