Hi , new to the vintage world.
Looking forward to getting my newly acquired 1965 Imperial Mark IV back on the road.
I have a few questions to ask if anybody is feeling patient with me.
1) Any tips on getting wheel bearings and headset back into shape? just a deep clean and regrease and tighten up?
2) Any tips on maintenance of the integrated 3 speed rear hub?
3) Should I try and keep the existing white brake and gear housings? do they clean up well or are they now too old and brittle to work with?
Hi!
I'm about to buy new tire for my 1935 CCM Motorbike. The worned out tire are 700x38c (28 x 1-1/2) and I wonder if someone ever tried to fit 700x50c ( 28 x 2" )
From my aproximation ( me fudgin' around with a tape) it would be a TIGHT fit...
Hi
I recently was fortunate enough to pick up an old Ladies Mark IV from a local garage sale ($30) It needs work but I am sure it can be rejuvenated quite nicely.
I am trying to locate the serial number to find out when it was made, but for the life of me I cant find it. I have searched everywhere and can only find an X stamped on the bottom of the BB.
Some time back, John Williamson mentioned that during the Second World War, the Canadian military used some CCM bikes painted in Olive Drab, or some other military paint colour. I was wondering if anyone has ever seen or heard of a surviving bike with this paint job. These were certainly civilian bikes prior to 1944, and economy "War Grade" models towards the end of the war. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. --David Webb
A pair of these rims came off my 1916 Model F(or M). Has anyone seen ths trademark before? Is it possible they are original? Thanks in advance
Any suggestions what I should condition this seat with it is very dry and cracked. I would like to maintain it best I can. Thanks Rob
Who knows what year was the first year for white tipped rear fenders ?
if I understand it correctly, it became law that the rear fenders on bicycles were required
to be painted white for safety.
I see quite a few bikes with the lower part of the rear fenders have a 6 or 8" section painted white.
Can anyone provide the facts on it ?
Thanks very much
i recently found a wood rim spoked it up and then found a 700c tire would not fit it was way to small but to my surprise a 27x1/4 fit perfect a 27 is bigger than a 28 this info may be of use to someone william rudolph
I recently aquirred this CCM prototype bicycle as well as two tool chests that belonged to Charles J Faith. Here's what I was told about it as well as things I've learned while looking it over and cleaning it.
I was told this bike was designed and built by Charles J Faith at CCM in Weston, Ontario. Charles worked at CCM in the 1940's as an engineer. Even though he was not a papered engineer he had this amazing ability to problem solve, build and create. All the employees admired him and looked up to him for advice and idea's.
