Use this forum to discuss all things related to vintage CCM bicycles including Rambler, Flyte, Mustang etc.
Picked this up over the weekend at a swap in Abbotsford. Cool double bar, balloon tire bike. Nice Gibson pedals, cool horn, Cadet speedo and sweet 48/49 Victoria BC licence plate! One real nice Dunlop tyre.
I know the seat is wrong but still a nice Troxel with crash rail and I know the bars and grips are wrong but they go well with the bike I think.
I picked this old CCM double top tube roadster up a day or two ago, but I am unsure of its vintage and model. Any help identifying when it was made and what model it is would be much appreciated...
a threaded bottom bracket and cotter pin cranks?
My buddy on Vancouver Island says he has one and has not found anyone else with one.
I know there are some of you back east with a lot of Flytes and wonder if any of you have one?
I've seen the bike but did not note the crank set.

Hello all.

Just tell me where I can find this info ... and I'm there.
Thanks ....

I have a ccm bicycle that I am restoring.
26x11/2" wheels
It has the brass ccm head badge, the lower forks are bent forward.
Crank has the ccm logo
Originally it was white with red decals.
Serial number is C56888
By the serial chart here it look as if it is a 1963 model,
what would the numbers mean ?
Will post a pic. as soon as I can get one.
regards,
TJ
Today I acquired a Vintage CCM Woman's 5 Speed Bicycle. I do not know what model it is, but have managed to find what appears to be the serial number. Based on some research I have done, since the serial number starts with "D", it is from 1924(The serial number is D246167). I am not sure if that is true or not because it appears to not be from that time. Any help in ID'ing the age and the model would be greatly appreciated. Pictures of the bike and the serial number are attached.
Was the 1967 Centennial originally sold with whitewall tires or blackwalls? In Google images some appear with whitewalls and some don't. If someone knows the actual brand and model of tire that would be helpful too. Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I just completed service on this 1961 Rambler or what I think is a Rambler. Any thoughts. Serial# starts with a "B".
It was refinished by the owner several decades ago and now they want a proper paint job. Any thoughts on where I could find the correct decals for it?
Thanks and take care, Daryl
Has anyone seen any different ways CCM mounted the wheel in the fork on the curved fork CCM Flyte?
I have seen the axle cutaway in the "side".... ie to the down side of the fork when in place, forward if you pulled the fork straight).
I have also seen a style that has the wheel in the end of fork with the cutaway in the middle,... ie with metal taps above and below the wheel when in place. Has anyone seen this type before?
Hi,
Does anyone have any suggestions, tools or magic for removing the drive side nut holding the chain wheel to the crank on a 1961 Rambler?
The large dust cap prevents me from getting standards tools to take a good bite.
It looks to be right hand thread, but most forms say left handed?
Thanks and take care,
Daryl
