CCM Carrera
Not something you would see in the States but high tensile steel CCM bikes are very common in Canada...
CCM bikes are entry-level hardware designed to give decades of mediocre service... and not usually as light or as nicely fitted out as this: Arai aluminum alloy handlebar stem. Arai aluminum alloy drop handlebars. Shimano Altus aluminum alloy derailleurs. Shimano 600 aluminum alloy brake levers. Shimano Tourney aluminum alloy brake callipers. Shimano 6-sprocket freewheel. Sakae bottom bracket assembly. Sakae aluminum alloy 165mm crank arms. Sakae aluminum alloy SR pedals. Sakae aluminum alloy SR seat post. Sakae aluminum alloy duplex 40 / 52t front chainrings. Sakae aluminum alloy chainring guard. Shimano VIA aluminum alloy hubs. Shimano Quick Release skewers front and rear. Selle Royal saddle. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...01ce495996.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...1888eb8a93.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...f5b3bd41bc.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...af47341311.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...ea9a7873c7.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...a0957ab88c.jpg |
I've always wanted a 1930s 40s ccm track bike. I've had at one time or another most other builders from that Era, but not a ccm

FYI, this one is from just before Procycle acquired the brand in the January 1983 bankruptcy proceedings. It's a 1981-1983 model and prime example of how far the CCM brand had sunk in its dying days, as it was the top model at the time of the Weston factory closure. While I've got 1000+ pieces of CCM serial number data, I have extremely little from this era and would appreciate the serial number. If you don't want to post it, please send it via private message. TIA.

I would give you the serial number if I could but the bike was grabbed as soon as I listed it on the local Buy and Sell.. It is now running swiftly in Toronto under a tall skinny guy with long legs. Bink |

I have one of these almost exactly the same that I bought new in the 70's not the 80's. Will the serial number give me a date? E995509
The E-code was subsequently employed again for the 1980 calendar year. However, there was no Carrera in the 1980 model line. It first appeared for the 1981 model year, so your bicycle should be a 1981 model manufactured in late 1980. |
My bike looks like the one in the picture has many of the same components but does not say Carrera anywhere on the bike. I also bought the bike just after college so I know I bought it in 73/74 after I got my first machinist job.

Welcome fellow Canadian machinist!

Please post photos of your bicycle. Ignore the forum warning that you require 10 posts. While the photos won't attach to a post, they will be deposited in a gallery album under your forum name, where other members can view them. |
Canadian Cycle and Machinery Company (CCM). Fix it up. Put some new tires on it. People are sentimental nuts about this bike brand. No wonder. They're great bikes.

It was the Canada Cycle & Motor Co., Limited. Automobile and motorcycle manufacture had been part of projected production since the very beginning in 1899.
