The serial numbers are always on the seat tube up to the 50`s. What makes you think there were CCM`s made in England?

I have had several older CCM bikes with British components on them, like the Perry hubs and another brand of British hub whose name escapes me at the moment, and then I've had CCM's of exactly the same vintage with CCM hubs. So I assumed they were British made, and like I said I was not 100% certain.

Merk, I hauled out the Ranger and took closeup photos of the seatstay area. Also my serial number is under the crank, not on the seatpost. And the numbers correspond with nothing in the CCM list, and yet it is identical (in my mind) to CCM's of the same vintage, minus the CCM chainring. I also have the original saddle, which is a Wright saddle from Birmingham England. The hub and brakearm have no name on it, only "made in England" and a patent number. If you can finally help me positively identify it then hats off to you.

Hi Old Rider, I was hoping that bridge area would be identical to my 30`s Eaton Glider, because the components on that are the same as your Ranger. It was built by Raleigh. I thought maybe since they said it came from the Hudsons Bay, that both them and Eatons were having bikes built by Raleigh. But your bike does sure appear to be CCM made. Odd that it`s stamped on the shell, I`ve never seen that. Pretty interesting...

Thanks for the info Merk, I appreciate the input. Its funny you mention Eatons and Raleigh because my friend has the identical bike to mine but his badge has "Eatons" on it and still has the CCM chainring, so now I know Eatons was buying from two manufacturers. Interesting stuff....thanks again!

you should try posting your pictures and questions on vintageccm.com those guys have all the CCM history.
I guess the other thing that we have to remember is that parts wore and were switched out...especially when some of these bike were used for generations. Eaton`s not only had a couple lines of bikes, but also a full line of components and accessories available through the catalog, including replacement forks, wheels, rims, saddles, sprockets...the works! The bikes were pretty standardized, and stayed that way a loooong time! I know I`ve found lots of bikes over the years with parts changed literally decades later....
