Have a lad in Australia wondering about a CCM "Tourist" bicycle. Anyone ever come across this particular model before?

So, I haven'tbeen on here in a while, and some of you may recall me restoring a "ccm cobra". Turns out it was a supercycle cougar x-500 which I wound up trading for something else. However, recently I got an e-mail from someone who was selling an actual CCM Cobra, and I picked it up!
Received this photo of a tricycle you pedal with your hands from Jamie McGregor. Anyone have any info on it?

Received the following letter from a feloow naqmed Ryan. Can anyone help him out? John
Am looking for a picture of my childhood bike. i found some that were close
but just not the same. 1975-79 ccm mustang 3 speed, gold colour with the
suicide shifter. it had gold flakes in the seat and a small sissy bar. also
cant quite remember if it had ape hangers or not. any pictures would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan
The 2014 edition of the Vintage CCM calendar will be available by the end of October. Thanks to everyone who sent in photos. The calendar contains images of 16 different vintage CCM bikes owned by 16 different enthusiasts. Thanks to Dave Brown for allowing us to use his photo on the cover.

Did CCM do what the American bicycle manufacturers did during the war years with blackout hubs, cranks and chainrings? I came across an old ladies loop frame bike that has no screw holes for a badge( I know they used decals during the war) and what appears to be all un chromed parts. I'll send pics to John and hopefully he can post them for me. Thanks for any info.
So this guy who likes american bikes, told me a while ago that the front forks on Flytes break or bend.
Has anyone heard this?
He was also telling me my 50s camel back won't hold up with a pixie engine on the back and that schwinns have stronger frames than CCMs.
I've only been into vintage bikes for a few years, but this just doesn't sound right or even heritical.
I have a 1941 ccm and I'm lookin for the correct stem and headbadge to complete the bike! If you have the parts or know we're I could get them I would much appreciate it and will purchase them. Here's a photo of the correct badge I'm lookin for. Thanks!!
Hello Fellow CCM Collector's:
I'm looking for a good picture of a 1965-1966 chainguard with the CCM RAMBLER logo on it. It is blue in colour and has pinstripping on either side of the lettering. With a good picture, I will be able to reproduce a decal for my Rambler. Thanks, your help would be much appreciated. You could send the picture to my e-mail address. cdbondi@hotmail.com

I want one to ride but the old ones are hard to find and most expensive . Why not make reproductions ? What would it take . Who holds the patents now? They do this with the finest cars . Why not the Flyte?
