Vintage CCM Bicycles

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 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.

Hi

i have a 458 Cleveland with a cracked headtube and a Model F with a cracked chainstay. Is it possible to remove the rear triangle from the bottom bracket and replace it assuming the parts fit properly?

Cheers

Hello all,

I realize that what I am looking for may not be common, but you don't know until you ask. I am looking for correct rubber for a 1950/51 CCM balloon Motorbike. The 1951 catalogue lists 26x2, and a wise friend stated i need 26x2.125.  I would love white walls, but would settle for black. Everything on bike is original except for the rubber. Any help or leads would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Steve

I purchased this bike but havent gotten it in my possession yet. Any idea of the model?
