Hi All, sorry for being such a chatty Cathy but I have been working on the Road Racer and keep coming up with questions (some I already had the answer to )....
When I acquired the 38 Road Racer, it still had original Dunlop Speedster tires in red, however the original wheels had been replaced (from the history of the bike in the mid 1970s).
Here's the confusion: the tires are marked 28 x 1 1/4 ("For Endrick Rim"), which should translate to 622mm (or 700C) size in more modern terms. However, the replacement wheels have French Chromlux 27 x 1 1/4 rims, which are 630mm diameter.
John Bull cushion rubber grips. Avaliable soon. This style grip was used on all Flyte models 1936 to 1940
Grip No. 831 in black was specified in the CCM catalogues
Red No. 881 was also available.
Price ; $45.00 / pair
I recently acquired a 1927 CCM Massey men's frame. It's just a bare frame with a badge and nothing else, not even a fork. I have enough 1920s CCM parts to build it, but I have two questions I hope someone can help with:
Hello, I was needing information on a 1970 women's galaxie bike internal gears in the sprocket of the back rim. I'm not very familiar with this set up. I purchased this gem at an auction for 8 dollars. Nice condition, original equipment.
It is nostalgic to me since it was made the year I was born.
Information on this bike would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time:

Does anyone know the history behind the Blue Bird decal on early CCM Flyers? Did a bike with this decal differ in any way from other Flyers, or was it just there because of the frame was blue? What years was the decal used? I know of blue Flyers from the 1920s and '30s with this decal and a blue 1951 Prof Racer Flyer that doesn't have it.
Wayne has not reproduced this decal. Does anyone have a NOS BB decal from CCM?
Hi.
Wondering if anyone knows if Fleetwing was owned by CCM?
I’ve read that Fleetwing cycles were made in Buffalo but I have one with a Maple leaf emblem on the
steering tube decal suggesting it’s Canadian made.
It’s a ladies road with dropped handlebar and 12 speed derailleur. Shimano “Skylark “ & Sugino crank, so not that old but maybe early 70s.
Everything looks original, even the tyres which are crumbling but hardly used.
I've seen the '38 CCM catalogue posted on this site, but have noticed that the stock seats could change from year to year. Can anyone please tell me or post a photo of the seat(s) offered on the CCM Motorbike for 1939? Were they the same as for '38?
