Sorry Pat, I though it went too easy. I know how that not paying attention thing goes! Ronn

Wore out three sets of tires already!
The bolt-on front brakes came stock on the 2 speed Americans for several years in the 1950s. A neat thing to be sure, and a pretty desirable accessory.

Nice bike! Is there a cable hanger sticking out from the headset? I'd appreciate it if you could post a picture of that. I have a set of brakes, a bike, but no hanger.

Hi Andrew. I am still waiting for the bike. Should get before weeks end. Here is the item # for ebay ( 260461034824). There is several photos of the brake system but I will post better photos when the bike arrives. Ronn

Thanks for the auction ID! If you could post a picture of the cable hanger when it rolls in I would appreciate it.

Found a set on ebay #: 290343478253. Some interesting photos. Hope mine has all those signatures.

If I remember correctly, these didn't have a cable hanger. The brake cable for these bikes is a special-made unit that is self-contained, pretty clever, and now quite hard to find. Think these might have come with a wire clip to keep the cable from flopping around too much.
