Use this forum to discuss all things related to vintage CCM bicycles including Rambler, Flyte, Mustang etc.
My first post. Glad that there is now a CCM forum although after 20 years I'm getting out of bicycle collecting. Which brings me to my question. I'm selling off my collection, some of it CCM including a wooden wheeled Cleveland. I have an tentative agreement to purchase at $400. Is that about right? My concern is that it may be worth more and I don't want to give it away.

I have a 3-Speed Club Racer that I purchased from Eaton's in Ottawa, in the 1950-52 era.
I have some pictures that I can post if any one is interested.
Question.......should I consider restoring it, or is it worth the cost and effort?
Any Input would be appreciated............thanks

Hello, I was hoping if someone could tell me if the rims on this cleveland are original? They do not look like regular ccm rims. I know the hubs are ccm... I can email some high resolution photo's of the wheels if that helps.... I have never seen a Cleveland before, so I am not sure...... Thanks, Dave
I was looking to see if someone might have some information about the Marshall Wells dep stores. I know they used to brand a lot of their stuff Zenith. Bicycles were CCM made. I was wondering if there's a catalog from 39 that show the bikes they have in store or maybe a CCM catalog from 39 showing similar bikes. They probably didn't came with the same options but I'm trying this avenue.
Here's a bike a few here may find interesting. It was rescued from a barn 20+ years ago and was brought to my Dad to do a restoration on. It was built by CCM for "Little Bobby Bentley" who was 6 years old at the time for some form of track racing. I was told the bike is from 1932, but can not find any serial numbers to comfirm. He did have paperwork from when the bike was built, but kept that when he gave it to my Dad for work. My dad has not heard from him in years. Anyways, here are a few shots of the beast.
Hi Guys, Has anyone found a source for 28X 13/4 tires that have a good vintage look? You can still get the 28X 1/2 `s easily enough, but I need some 1 3/4`s that have the right "look". Don`t want a modern looking tread pattern. Let me know, Cheers! ~MERK
A buddy and myself (in the back) around 1962 on our CCM roadsters.
Anyone else got an old (or new) shot of themselves on a vintage bike?
If so, don't be shy, throw it up here.
I am wondering if anyone has information on this particular bicycle. I know it`s a 28" wheeled bike. Wondering what colors it came in. I just purchased this bike and it needs complete restoration. Any info would be appreciated
