I'm excited to start restoring a bike from CCM'S first year of production, 1900. With help (thanks Dave!), I've learned that the CCM Brantford Red Bird Model 54 Ladies falls between the Brantford Model 50 in an 1899 Brantford catalogue, and the Model 56 in a 1901 CCM Brantford catalogue. It has the rounded fork crown of the 1899 model and the little frame cross member of the 1901 model. For 1901 CCM wrote about their new (squared off) fork crown.

Hi, I just cleaned and reassem a '37 hub but the clutch won't engage. It just spins freely in both directions. If I tinker with it, I can get it to engage temporarily, but if I change directions it won't engage again. How does the clutch drag spring work. Could that be the issue?

recently rescued a CCM Mustang Firebird. It's a survivour that I am trying to get up and running. Really need a front rim, 20 x 1 3/8" for starters, then we will go from there. Any leads on parts or general info about the bike would greatly appreciated. Thanks!
