new Project 1930 ccm

[JNichol]

Hi All,

I just got it in the mail today and put it together for some pics. The odd thing about this bike is that it has 26" wheels. I guess it must be a juvanille bike?

It needs a cleaning in the worst way. I did recieve a set of NOS fenders with it in the same colour pattern.

Rear hub has ccm stamped on it.

Can't wait to get it out for a ride.

Enjoy the pics.

Wow! That bike looks fantastic, I'll bet it'll ride like a dream. I have a British CCM from the early 40's, it has CCM stamped out in the chainring whereas yours does not....was the CCM chainring just a British deal?

I am excited to get it cleaned up and get it rolling. This ccm was more than likely badged a Cleveland which is why the chainring is different. If it were badged ccm then it would have the stamped ccm logo chainring.

Check your tires again. I think it is a 28" wheel bike. I have seen many of these bikes and never seen a 26" wheel bike in that frame. The wheels fit the frame like all the 28" bikes.

I can read the tires quite clearly and they do say 26". I agree with you about never seeing one that isn't a 28". I will have to dig around for some more info.

Hey Mark,

Great looking bike. If you are interested I know where to get some NOS fenders and tires for the bike. There is a place in Ontario that has a bunch of stuff for sale. Let me know if you are interested and maybe we can put an order together and split the shipping. I can bring it out to the island for you.

I think I found a wrights saddle for my eatons bike. Do you have any idea of what I should be paying for it?

I also need some grips for my ccm. Do you know where I can get some?

Thanks,
Jason

hello from the island

wrights saddles hhmm i just had one offered to me for 30 bucks.no springs,just a frame,with great leather,it most likely went to a fixie rider.and the one i want the guy wants 250.00.and i might trade some parts for it.and ive seen them sell for more.im definitely interested in some tires,and maybe fenders,im looking for a 3/4 front with front brace....
im going to put a sturmey 3 sp kickback in the ccm posted with low gearing,i might ride to kamloops this year on it.heavy elevations on a oldie,ive always wanted to do it.i have to many bikes right now and must sell a few.next time your over here well hook up.ow ya,i have recreated a twine and cork grip.that looks very nice.just time and cheap to do.i have everything here,just bring the bars and well set you up.i can do leather pipping also.i dont think i have any grips,and if i do they would be white or black thin,not comfortable but period correct......they have nice repops for 20 -30 bucks,torpedo style.i have a pair of 700c 28 inch 50s rim set.very straight with spokes.flat spoke surface.they came off a 21 inch frame camelback.it seemed small to me but had 28 inch wheels,im still trying to wrap my head around 26 inch wheels on that bike you got.
