I'm finally done restoring my almost 100 years old bicycle. It looks amazing.
How cool is this ... this Brooks B17 Sprinter saddle has now been reunited with the framset it came with ... 1939 CCM Flyer. A big thanks and shout-out to Mike for contacting me after locating this rare saddle and realizing its origin.
So I just picked up a 68 Mustang at a yard sale thinking this might be fun to retore as I had one of these when I was a kid.
problem is that I cant remember what parts are original and this bike looks like its had modifications along the way as well as missing some parts.
What I know is good :frame ,forks,stem,handle bars,crank and rear fender
Does anyone have the original specs for this bike? Catalogue photo?
Thanks and take care,
Daryl
I'm building a '32 Twin-bar motorbike (T prefix) and now that I'm ready to assemble I noticed there's no hole for a rear reflector. When did the reflector become mandatory, and also when was the white visibility strip added?
Thanks!
Anybody ever see one of these that has any intell? I think the double bar frame has a funky look! I'm guessing early 80's
I am trying to find out what the Apple tension should be for a 36 spoke steel wheel (V170 made in Canada 27x1 1/4). Spokes are 2.0mm steel. Tensions are sitting at 17 (park tool gauge) or 53 Kgf. Wondering what they should be? Would love to know front and back. Wheels are from a 1977 Targa 10 speed.
I recently discovered a teens Hercules (not New Hercules) friction drive hub with a brake arm. In my research I found this photocopy that im including here for future reference. I had thought it an anomaly but it seems it was actually a factory upgrade as per the bottom paragraph.
Hello all. Great site. I have a couple of CCM's. This is my recent fine. I believe it is between 1908 and 1912. It has a cushion frame and a skiptooth chain. The rear hub has no brake arm and the head badge reads Toronto. The serial number is 230072 and hud patient no is 106391. The fenders are wrong. I have not looked to see if the wheels are metal clad. I would like to nail down the correct year of the bike if anyone can figure it out. I will now try to post so pictures. Thanks
I picked up a garage kept Rambler 500 the other day with original tires and all. Been stored for 55 years. Through my searches to find out more about this beauty I came across your website and would love to share some pictures with your collectors gallery. Yet to see a rambler this original and clean.
