So I have a project on the go ( see Current Projects " crazy bike")
One of the options I have to consider is a front drum brake such as the Sturney Archer one.

Does anyone have experience of these?

I and using a Sturney Archer rear hub with coaster brake. Is it OK to put a similar drum brake on the front? My bike is a bit on the heavy side.

Brooks saddle,
Sturney Archer twin speed coaster brake,
Wooden handle bar ( rose wood and beech inpotred from Poland )
Espresso 700 wheels ( if I can find one for the front )
Sturney Archer crank.

oh yeah, and a frame made from 4" stainless steel hoops and 19mm tube for lateral stability. ( wish I didn't need these, spoils the look, but was unrideable without )

I am having trouble finding a front wheel to match the rear. I want one with the CNC machined brake surface.

316 stainless steel. If I can be bothered, it will polish up and shine forever!

OK, so my bike isn't a fixie or a single speed ( technically it's a twin speed ).
It's not based on a classic or vintage frame ( but I do own some that are )

You can throw me out of your forum if you think I deserve it, BUT, I would like you to tell me what you think of my crazy bike.

I like to be different. I like to be center of attention even though I'm generally shy.

I am building this to see if I can, and I get a laugh from riding it already ( even though it's not finished )

I need to finish the rear drop outs and I have a shed load of grinding and polishing to do.

So, photo's of the build so far,

Because you're an idiot.

I think its a Darwin experiment. I haven't seen the motorbike for about two weeks now...........

oh yeah, and I'm building a VERY unique bike. I cant wait to see what you guys think or it. I guarantee you will have never seen anything like it!

But, I guess I will have to wait the 24 hours to post pictures! lol

hello from Telford! I like your ( now our ) forum. Looks a friendly place :)

'71 carlton. I did a triathlon with it last year. Got loads old the older competitors looking wistfully at it. I enjoyed over taking 6 guys who were on bespoke tri bikes!

not a bike,but round where i am there is a motorbiker who has coloured his headlight red.
WHEN a car pulls out in front of him, I'm sure he will blame the car driver, if he survives.
