CCM RAMBLER

[late for dinner]

I dropped into an all things vintage store in the neighbourhood this morning while running an errand and spotted a crusty seat pan at the back of a bunch of hipster cruisers and left with this CCM Rambler.
I've never run across a Rambler before and haven't had time to research it as I had to get across town to pick up the Corvette.
CCMs were generally manufactured locally in Toronto, but I've not seen the multi cog hub with coaster brake or top tube shifter.
Someone it appears added a caliper brake under the frame, but I think the coaster may still work as well.
Also not your typical CCM chain guard. Any info definitely appreciated. Serial #2074, I'll see what I can find too.
And wouldn't you know I gave away my new 28" tires with another CCM I sold recently to save space.

Dang It, Schwinnray !
I' was trying not to get too attached to this one, I just wanted the seat and maybe guard if it wasn't original to the bike.
but now that you mention it........ it is kind of a cool design.
Well give me a nice warm day to get to know her a little better and we'll see if it's meant to be. :wink:

You'd have a hard time seperating me from that bike. Very cool

Probably so Kevin, I had a pretty hard time seperating you from your old Spaceliner too. :lol:
Which by the way I'll post some pics of soon when I get the weather to get it out for a ride is week. It has evolved a little bit but is stuck in the middle of the pack right now.
...and thanks for your input on this old beast, I recall admiring a few of yours and appreciate your eye.

Lol thanks. I can be particular about many things, bikes included. Keep that thing together and clean it up, thats a nice shape there. But then again I realy like the camel backs.

Thanks again Kevin, I gave it a real cleaning and lube today and took it for a spin around the block.
The tires are pretty cracked and she's missing a couple of spokes, but she shifted well and the coaster brake works just fine.
I still haven't figured out the vintage, but the hub has a patent date of 1937 and the paint seems original after all.
It''s a pretty nice old bike, but I don't think the love is there yet.
