old photo or do you still own and ride it?
curious about how that front drum feels/ felt--- grabby, fadey? Haven't ridden a front drum bike for who knows how long.
Old photo, have not driven it in years but still own it. And a few others.
Photo from the other side below, the newer style drum worked better being a twin leading shoe than the older standard drum brake that was single leading shoe. Even though there was a scoop for air flow so rain water could get in to the brake pads, the brakes worked just as well in rain as dry. The brakes always stopped me, thus I could never figure out why people wanted disc brakes.
Sorry for being off topic, in an attempt to get back on topic this photo has the side stand in use.
