Vintage CCM Bicycles

I'm wanting to learn about a bike I have. Trying to figure out the model and year. Also it has some strange features that I haven't been able to figure out. There's a tab on the headset that locks the bars in position and there are two sets of small diameter tubes directly below the headset??? I would also like to find some tires for it.

Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Ok so I found this bike locally here in Thunder Bay and from what I can see its original paint, but with more than a little wear and tear to the finish as it looks like some corrosive substance like brake fluid or some such was allowed to splash on the front mudguard and down tube. Other wise an acceptble amount of scratches and rust elswhere for me to be happy leaving it as is with just the usual TLC. The chromium on the stem is pretty much gone. The rims I are straght, original seat I think, Crank and hubs are in good shape ( rear is a Perry hub).

Hi there,

I recently picked up a vintage bicycle. I have been a bike guy since I was a kid and worked as a bicycle mechanic for years and now as a schoolteacher have taught thousands of students bicycle mechanics over 20 years. I am by no means a bicycle "collector" OR vintage bike expert. I have however seen many different bicycles over 30 years of working on them. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely LOVE vintage bicycles, but simply don't have the room to keep them. I do however collect Bicycle license plates from all over Canada. I have hundreds  

Hi I'm new to this forum. 

I have just inherited my grandfather's 1902 ccm bike. It has been sitting in a garage since 1963. It is rusted. It appears to have all its parts. I'm unsure if I should attempt to clean it or leave it as is. Unsure if attempt to remove the rust would harm it, decrease its valve. Or if it has any valve do to its rust. I was interest if anyone in this forum had any insight.

Thank you

Hi, 

Just wondering what the size of the lock nut is holding the chain wheel on the drive side of the crank. I think it's 1 3/8" but wanted to be sure. The wrench needs to be offset too I believe. Was there a tool made for this by CCM. If so does anyone have an extra they would like to sell?

Thank you, Daryl
