My 1935 delivery has a Falcon front hub and a Perry rear with 14 gauge spokes. The rims have been repainted but i can see black paint w gold pin striping underneath.
According to the 35 catalogue whic was recently uploaded (thanks very much) it should have a Hercules rear hub so the perry is obviously incorrect. Does anyone know if the falcon front is original? The catalogue doesnt give that information.
The spokes are 14 gauge. From perusing the forums they shoud be 12 gauge?

Hello I want to know if the model Cleveland 22 is a child model?
And what is the difference with model 44 ...
I came across a collection of vintage bikes in storage recently (all quite poor condition) while out looking at some older road bikes. Anyhow, I've attached some pictures as I'm struggling to identify a couple of the bikes.
The first is a CCM "Standard" with what I would call a skip tooth sprocket. There is a few layers of paint so I neglected to try and locate the serial number (I assume on the seat tube). I'm trying to determine the year of the bike as seems quite old to my untrained eye.
So another noisy hub. Shot this video to show exactly what it sounds like. This is the worst one by far, but all the 37s screech somewhat, even after servicing. Any Ideas?

did the ccm muscle bikes use metal or rubber valve stems. thanks william rudolph.
anyone know what years CCM used a 31mm steer tube bore? I went to change out the headset in what appears to be a 46 twin bar and the bore is 31 mm. My 64 and 67 CCMs have the common 30mm bore but I havent ever checked my older bikes.
can anyone tell me which duomatic hub was used on the ccm muscle bikes the model 515 which hade to be screwed out of the hub to take apart or the onethat could be taken apart when the cones were removed this sounds like a job for duomatic thanks william rudolph.
i have heard a lot about the front fork on the Flyte being susceptible to breaking. i am wondering if anyone has ever had one break on them or if they know of someone who did.
I am riding mine a lot right now and wonder if this is myth or fact? The one flight I had before, had been ridden so much that the chrome on the front cranks had been worn away from the riders pant legs and the Gibson pedals had been worn away thru to the bearings, yet the original fork was still on there.
I LOVE riding it but the stories have me wondering, yet skeptical, about the breaking forks.
I would appreciate any help, thoughts, or suggestions as to futhering my understanding of this bike.
