- I picked this up today. I believe it’s a CCM? Could anyone provide me the year or make if possible? I am new to CCM and just signed on the website today. This is my first Canadian find, any help would be very much appreciated.- thank you
Does anyone know when the fork dropouts changed as shown is the picture? Otherwise the forks are the same
This bike suffered a fire which has given it a certain patina. I can only find one other in pictures that has the twin bars like this, and so (of course) would like to learn more about it. Any ideas?
as always,
thanks

I recently rescued this Massey badged bike. The frame dropouts have been brazed and so the frame isn't in great shape. I first saw the bike all together and bought all of the parts the next time I saw it, all parted out and ready to go to the four corners of the earth. How many of the parts are original? Any guess as to the year? The serial number is K4580 as far as I can tell.
when did ccm change from 15 gauge spokes to 14 gauge i would like to know in order to keep my restoriations correct thanks william rudolph still looking for a truss rod bracket also
Hi, I just bougth What I think is a 1935 CCM Motorbike Superb
There are some obvious unoriginal parts on it but would you help me for an autenticity check?
serial number is X22668,
original color is maroon.
wrong handlebar, saddle
I picked up these at the Copake NY flea market. The seller said they came from the estate of Fred Henry, CDN cycling team, 1952 Helsinki Olympics. Mr. Henry was born in Toronto in 1929 and died in Georgia in 2013. I hope a Flyer expert can help me make sense of the differences between the parts. Here are my observations:
The 2 non-ccm letter chainrings are nickel plated, but the others are chrome plated. Their diameters not including teeth are: 7", 7.25", and 7.5". Two are for 1" pitch chain.
I have just purchased a 1941 "economy" Flyte built in 1941. This is the one with the straight forks, not the iconic "gazelle leaping" style.
Do the iconic curved forks ever come up for sale? Would it be blasphemous to change the originally supplied forks for the iconic curved ones? The headset has two truncated verticle bars that appear to have been front fender stabilizers, but I have not seen this on other pictures of Flytes. Ay ideas?
