It's the oldest bike I have in that it is a 1933 CCM Rambler, a gentleman's coaster bike.

I found it at our local bike co-op and was able to ride it home the day I found it as despite it's scruffiness, it is in very nice shape and is a very nice bike to ride.

Besides overhauling the bearings I have rebuilt the rear wheel with a period and colour correct hoop (I have to do the front) and changed the chain ring from a 52 to a 48 so I can better handle hills.

I also ride a 1940 CCM and a 1948 Rudge on a pretty regular basis.
