Use this forum to discuss all things related to vintage CCM bicycles including Rambler, Flyte, Mustang etc.
I just scored a Massey motorbike. I haven't dated it yet but will update the post with that info soon.
Overall, it is in pretty good condition. Unfortunately, someone decided to spray paint the frame, fork and rims and wasn't very concerend about overspray or taping. The headset, part of the stem, spokes, bottome bracket are all partially painted.
Hi,
From what I can tell, Ramblers only had a head badge and a chain guard decal. Mine is a '61. Is this correct?
Thanks, Daryl
Good day to all, I am new to this forum.
I recently purchased a 1942 CCM Red Bird, in much need of TLC.
It has been repainted several times, and the original color appears to be a Baby Blue. Is this an original CCM color, and if so, what is the color code? Are there any paints on the market that resemble CCM colors? One of the collectors on this blog (Mark) appears to have a bicycle with a similar color.
Your help is appreciated.

Hi,
Just had stolen from my Ottawa backyard an old ccm tandem bike. I bought iit
5 years ago from an ottawa architect who had it hanging on his garage as an
ornament. It was all seized up and i got it back in working order. Used it
extensively with my kids. It was red, with a green milkcrate on the back,
serial no. B85548C. It was rough around the edges, but was solid, reliable
and fun.
Hello CCMers
recently aquired a ccm Flyte and am wondering where the serial number should be located?
looking to determine what year it is and then decide if I should restore it or move it along, sorry no pics at the moment ...any help is appreciated

This worn beauty measures about 18" x 24". On a heavier cardboard. Has the support flap (like on picture frames), allowing it to stand upright. I'm going to have it framed.
Picked up this neat child's bicycle last week. Has head badge with CCM, Columbia and Weston on it. But can't seem to find another online. The fact that it's "made" in Weston, it's probably not earlier than 1917.
It has solid rubber tires, no serial number, single hand brake, fenders with "Little Giants" emblem on it. The closest to it online is a Colson Fairy child's bike from the 1920s. https://oldbike.wordpress.com/1920-colson-childs-fairy-bicycle/
I have the original rear fender. Missing front and chain guard.
Might hunt them down sometime, but I like the clean no-nonsense look it has without tins.
the original purple finish is in great shape. I broke it down completely. Cleaned, removed rust from chrome, treated the inside of every tube with Boshield. Lubed it up & reassembled. I found NOS Norco rear slick. Was going to use a Trelleborg, but I figured I'd keep it as Canadian as possible.
Hi all - just got approved on the forum (thanks John), and wanted to introduce myself and post a question.
I've been over on the bikeforums C&V subforum for years: I have a lot of different styles I like. Relevant to this forum, I wanted to share what I think is a late 30s Road Racer.
I acquired this bike from a collector in Saskatoo
