This 1918 Cleveland Ladies' Roadster model 455 came to me thanks to Marc in Ottawa. It was found in a barn in Smith Falls, covered in bird poop. It was cleaned up and rideable when I got it but in honour of its 100th birthday I decided to try to get it looking like its catalogue image as much as possible.
just got a CCM MUSTANG bike, the problem now is the handlebar is loose, it means it goes forwoard or back when i was riding.
I tight the bolt to max, the problem still exist. The position of handle bar changes due to my force. It is normal? I know these kinds of bikes have special design of handle bar.
it looks the stem is hard to hold handle bar in a tough position from my view, anyone know about that? Do your handle bar change position all the time when you use this bike? Thanks
Does anyone know what handlebars these are?
From Bobby:
Good day. I have a CCM galaxie and in the process of restoring it. I do not know the year of the bike but internet says the serial number could reveal what year it was made. My serial number is D257073. I am hoping someone on this blog could graciously tell me if the number cited above is revealing anything.
Thank you and have a great day.
what spoke length is required for a ccm 18x1/38 front wheel thanks william rudolph
I am currently working on a TOC bike which I have had for many years..unfortunately there is no head badge, ergo, what is it? It had a torn head tube, which I replaced. Has CCM Hercules saddle, ND model A rear hub, Columbia pedals, wood handle bar, period fenders, rack..all of which appear to be original to the bike.
I'm asking for help to identify the proper year and model of this Cleveland. It's my next project for restoration. It looks like the serial number is N34987.
Also, was it common to have both the front and rear fenders with white "safety flashes" ? I've checked the paint over pretty closely, and I believe it's original paint. Please advise.
Thanks in advance.
Avroe.
I'll have more about this GT at a later time. It's a real nice bike I found in great shape. I haven't ridden it much yet, but I plan to this summer. It could use some new White Walls and I find the seat is real uncomfortable... but it's original so it's gotta stay.
