CCM track bike
I'm storing this for a friend. I was told it was from the 20s, but I'm not 100% sure... or even 50% sure.
Phillips Superior hubs, either fixed/fixed, or fixed free. I'm almost certain the rims are not original (Dunlop clinchers)
The serial no. is either I0723 or 10723. Any guesses?

I dont think its an actual track bike, but I could be wrong, instead I think it might be their "Road racer" model they sold till the late 50s I think... Ugh T-Mar?

Check out the rear wheel dropout. It appears to be a track bike but, the front fork is pretty slack. Old geometries are pretty strange sometimes. Check out the profile of the front chain ring teeth. The open stays are very early, I had a CCM bike as my first bike in 1949. I was only 6 and my dad bought a large frame for me to ride (something about my growning into it). I learned how to ride it from inside the front triangle (necessity is after all the mother of invention). Looked pretty weird from what I remember being told. The bike had a very finished look from what I remember. Don't know but that frame looks pre-war (the big one).

That bike is so rad it makes me feel all gushy. If I were to define gushy I couldn't. Yeah the geo is crazy slack, but what a pretty bike.

I spoke with a CCM fiend from Regina, Canada, and he believes CCM had 2 models back in the day - a traditional track model and a 6-day model, the 6-day having slacker geo. This is definitely a track bike - rear fork ends, front forks and brake bridge untapped (though the fork crown could hardly be tapped... the thing is like a piece of sheet metal).

That is the Road Racer model. Road bikes also raced fixed up into the 50's. The Dunlop rims are original but wooden rims were an option. I have catalog repros that I will dig out tomorrow with more info.

Moki does that bike belong to Jamie or maybe Louis. I am sure I have seen this bike before. When I look at the pic of the serial# I am sure the serial number is 1C723 making it a 1939. I am also sure the rims are original. Also is your CCM friend from Regina Fred. I know him quite well. I am from Wpg and know these guys(Louis, Jamie and Fred). Fred is quite interested in Louis bike.

Yes, 1939. I couldn't find my date chart but I remembered that my Flyer is a xBxxx which is a 1938, but I see oldy57 beat me to the punch.

I agree, the the subject bicycle is a 1939 CCM Road Racer, minus the standard fenders. As previously stated, CCM's racing models were built for both road and track use during this period. The rims are indeed standard but I don't have any literature listing wooden rims as optional. The wooden rims were options on the upscale Flyer. The top model, the Custom Built Professional Racer, was the one available in a "regular "and "short" (6 day) version. FYI, in 1939 the Road Racer model sold for $39.75.
Personally, if someone had left that bicycle with me, I might be tempted to move before he claimed it, making it very hard for him to track me down.
