those are perfect! mind me asking who makes them?

these photos are great! thanks. nice bike by the way, i really like the wooden hand grips and the wing nuts. i'll have to do some research on the handlebars and see if i could get a pair shipped to Canada for a reasonable price. thanks again

looks great!!! really suits the bike!

that's a good idea, i didn't know that filler primers existed. then with a light sanding using fine automotive sand paper before painting, that should help remove any indications of frame damage (aside from the dent). thanks!

I got the fork taken apart as recommended by lukethejoker (thanks for the good advice), I left the chrome to soak in a rust remover fluid, and have the baring race in a jar of mineral spirits. I waited overnight for the epoxy to set, then, with the help of my father, his Dremel tool and a...

You have a sharp eye! It is, if I’m not mistaken I believe the bicycle was made in USA by Sager Gear Co. it’s a really cool design but it never caught on, supposedly because of the weight and it made changing the rear tire/tube more difficult. i did see a modern shaft drive bicycle in a shop...

Nice! A heat gun makes things easier. The only other ccm I have is a ww2 black out bicycle. thanks for the support :)

Waiting for the epoxy to dry gives me time to think about handlebars. I don’t want to just turn a set of roadster handlebars upside-down. I would prefer a set that was purposely built for racing. I’m a big fan of Major Taylor (as seen in the photo) and the handlebars he used would look perfect...

While sanding I have also noticed multiple holes in the frame for a water bottle cage, chain guard and other accessories, so I found some old screws that fit the holes perfectly and used some JB weld metal epoxy to glue them in place. I’ll wait overnight for the epoxy to set before I file them...

Today I disassembled the frame and peeled off all the decals using a high temperature heat gun and a paint scraper. They were harder to get off then I thought. All the important parts (like the bearings and bearing races) have been left to soak in mineral spirits for a while to help remove the...

You are absolutely correct! Slack frames like this are uncomfortable for racing. But there is a unique way to turn relaxed frames into racing frames with a simple little trick they used back in the day. I’ll be showing my plan within the week, stay tuned ;)

everybody in Canada knows Dave and Kathy ;) i was born in Toronto, great city. i'm a big ccm fan, (the old bikes not the new reebok ripoffs).

great job on the light! i like where this build is going

awesome ideas and a great looking bike!

Here’s what I am starting this winter build with, a 1970s CCM Elan steel lugged frame. It used to be a 3-speed basic roadster styled bicycle, but I plan on changing it to a single speed rear coaster brake pathracer. The reason I picked the CCM Elan is that it has a long wheel base making for a...

Welcome to The Pathracer Project build thread for the WBO 2015 My goal for this build off is to make a one-of-a-kind bicycle that is reminiscent of an early 1900s road racing bike. It has to be a design that looks utilitarian so I’m going to avoid as many modern comforts as possible (no cables...

looking great! i find old ccm bikes are always a pleasure to work on. just a good quality bike

great pictures of a great bike! well done

looks great!

welcome to the forums, my favorite bicycle was made in Nottingham! the three speed robin hood.
