  • That reminds me of my "Budapest bike" I used to ride when I lived there...
    2 brakes: a coaster brake, and a **crazy **front brake, I don't know how you call those, with no cable, just metal bits articulated from the handle bars, but instead of pulling breakpads onto the rim like on vintage dutch bikes, it was a massive rubber block pushing directly onto the tyre...!!!! Absolutely unefficient when it rains, it was also making the whole bike vibrating if the tyre was not properly inflated... I was never using it... Nice bike though, must be 60 years old, I brought it back from Hungary and I still have it at my grand mother, for when I go visit her.

    Thats a nice looking bike, surprising that it has that weird brake when it seems so well made. Old british bikes have mechanical 'rod' brakes, as well as similar styles of bikes in asia. That tyre friction just seems bizzarre.
