Hello I want to know if the model Cleveland 22 is a child model?
And what is the difference with model 44 ...
I came across a collection of vintage bikes in storage recently (all quite poor condition) while out looking at some older road bikes. Anyhow, I've attached some pictures as I'm struggling to identify a couple of the bikes.
The first is a CCM "Standard" with what I would call a skip tooth sprocket. There is a few layers of paint so I neglected to try and locate the serial number (I assume on the seat tube). I'm trying to determine the year of the bike as seems quite old to my untrained eye.
So another noisy hub. Shot this video to show exactly what it sounds like. This is the worst one by far, but all the 37s screech somewhat, even after servicing. Any Ideas?

did the ccm muscle bikes use metal or rubber valve stems. thanks william rudolph.
anyone know what years CCM used a 31mm steer tube bore? I went to change out the headset in what appears to be a 46 twin bar and the bore is 31 mm. My 64 and 67 CCMs have the common 30mm bore but I havent ever checked my older bikes.
can anyone tell me which duomatic hub was used on the ccm muscle bikes the model 515 which hade to be screwed out of the hub to take apart or the onethat could be taken apart when the cones were removed this sounds like a job for duomatic thanks william rudolph.
i have heard a lot about the front fork on the Flyte being susceptible to breaking. i am wondering if anyone has ever had one break on them or if they know of someone who did.
I am riding mine a lot right now and wonder if this is myth or fact? The one flight I had before, had been ridden so much that the chrome on the front cranks had been worn away from the riders pant legs and the Gibson pedals had been worn away thru to the bearings, yet the original fork was still on there.
I LOVE riding it but the stories have me wondering, yet skeptical, about the breaking forks.
Wondering if anyone has any info on this Ennwell light?
It was on a 1936 CCM that I picked up.
Thanks in advance!

It took me about two weeks to track this beauty down and pick it up. Pretty amazing. About 30 mins from my house. Originally found in an old barn just outside of Kelowna B.C., its been ripped apart, cleaned and pollished. I picked it up last night, went on a 15km ride around the Vancouver sea wall, put on the big bar this morning, she agreed to a little photo shoot and now shes tucked in for a good night sleep.
I am posting for an acquaintance that I met on another frorum and is awaiting approval on his Vintage CCM membership. This not my bicycle. I haven't seen it in person. All I've seen are the photos that I'm posting on his behalf. He's looking for age and any information. Reportedly, everything works well on it. Here's what I told him:
