Hi All, I am new to the forum and new to CCM bikes, was a Schwinn man up unitl a month ago, these bikes seem fun and are plentiful in my neck of the woods. OK, I have what looks to be a CCM rambler or imperial, however it says National on the headbadge, what gives?
Hi folks: I'll share some eye candy with you. The past weekend, myself and a couple of others were invited to display bicycles at this annual event in Truro, NS. I dragged along a dozen of mine, CCMs included. The festival rocked..starting at 11 AM Friday and ending at 8:00 PM Sunday. When thwe stage shows ended at approx 1:00 in the AM, the venue moved to a "JAM Session" tent for another couple of hours. An event not to be missed.
Hi to all,
would like to know if anyone knows the year of this bike. Says CCM Redbird, Has wood rims.
I acquired this bike recently from a relative. I can't really find any identification or serial numbers on it, or any indication of make/model. So I'd like to know what I have here, when it was likely made, etc. And yes, I know the front fender is on backwards. Thanks for any info.
Hello
I am new to this so I hope you bear with me
I have two questions/problems
I have an "old" CCM bicycle...I was told around the 1950s, how do I identify it?
lastly...the tires on this bike are 28x1.5...I order new ones...28X1.5 but they are too big....where can I get tires??
I purchased a CCM ballooner/middleweight here in New Zealand from a man who had lived in Canada sometime earlier in his life and he claimed it to be from the 1950's. It has all the characteristic Ballooner traits except the F.12 (S-7) rims and tires of 26" x 2" x 1 3/4". It's VERY unlikely these were later added as the frame only has a single top tube. However, the serial number is more like that of a 1940's bike being 9V3996. That V as a second digit is not mentioned ANYWHERE.
New to the board and new to the vintage bike collecting.This is my RAT cycle.Every body keeps asking me when I am going to restore it.When I tell them I like mine with a little rust they just give me an odd look and say WHY?
did ccm when they used perry hubs ever use a thread on sprocket or just a clip ot hold on the sprocket . thanks william rudolph
