Yeah I've been reading about Long Johns and the brakes they used, interesting stuff.
I might test ride a Pashley to see what drum brakes are like. I can't decide whether to have drums or centrepull calipers on my audaxy/tourery bike when I finally get around to building it.
Have you seen this?
**Simple, reliable, low maintenance, and apparently works better in the wet than when dry. I don't suppose you can find the rims any more though. **
