I'm in the process of preparing some nickel-plated hubs to be laced into two pairs of new wood rims I bought from Noah Stutzman in Ohio. Some questions have come up and I'm hoping someone here knows about the evolution of CCM's early front hubs. In the first photo, hubs 1 and 2 are nickel. Hub 3 looks chrome-plated but it's dull and not the shiny chrome of postwar bikes. Hub 1 is thicker than 2 and 3 and in the second photo you can see the bearing cup has a smaller surface area as a result.
got a little spring fever to day , so i started to clean out the bike shop of ccms i have!!!!
Hi, just picked up my second RedBird in two weeks. This one is probably much newer than my other. Still need to find the serial # but thought I'd post a couple pictures. Possibly sharper eyes than mine will know right away. Seems I'll be fighting a broken handlebar stem bolt and possibly seized stem but I've given it all a good dousing with PB Blaster penetratimng oil and I'll let it sit for a couple days as it just turned bitter here last night and my garage is unheated.
Hi Everyone, just bought what the seller says is a 1938 Redbird CCM. Already have a Marshall Wells Zenith badged early CCM that I know is the original paint job so I'm curious as to whether the Redbird came in this odd blue colour or if I need to attempt a strip job? Thanks for any help.
Some time ago, i got guidance on aging a CCM elite. I have the bike. It has a gold wreath around the CCM emblem. I see a similar bike on KIJIJI with the wreath which is RAISED metal - what is the significance of that particular Bike? was it a special edition? The bike is a beauty..Burlington Ontario AD.
I picked up a blue J-code CCM today with a duomatic rear hub in a 28 inch rear wheel. But the front wheel is 26 inch and it looks as though the front fork has been replaced.
The front rim is a match to the rear so it looks factory but i cannot be sure. Soea anyone know if this is factory wheel sizing?
