What it’s all about for us. Klunker Cruise

It's the only brake of this type I've ever had but it works as good as anything. It stops fine.

With drum brakes front and back you do want to make sure you have levers designed specifically for drum brakes.

I thought you could use V brake levers for drums?

Just got my 1953 Schwinn Panther frame back from being powdercoated yesterday. I had gotten decals from Velocals a while back. Trying to decide on the rest of my components now. I know it's not 100% keeping with the Klunker spirit, but this frame was just in primer when I got it, so figured it was a good candidate for a powdercoat.

I think I'm going to go with gold Ukai 26 x 2.125 wheels, and I already have the red profile stem. I've got a set of Sidewinder forks on their way. Also have a set of Genuine Bicycle Products bars I'm going to use. As for the rest, it's up in the air. I can't decide on hubs....coaster brake, roller brake, or drums, and do I go with a single speed (already have a Bendix RB2), Sturmey Archer S2C kickshift, Shimano Nexus 8, or a 5 speed rear freewheel on a drum brake hub? Suggestions?

Someone was thinking of tossing this thing out. So I grabbed it for fun and have been fixing it up for running errands. It would have been a shame to waste it.

Actually... its a shame to waste any bicycle.

something we North Americans are pretty good at.
