Picked this one up today. Need to detail it and figure out what is going on with the Atom brake--locks up. I think it may be missing a cable clamp. Seemed to shift ok before the brake locked up! V/r Shawn

Nice find Shawn! I am in the middle of sourcing new shoes for the Atom brake on a Schwinn Twinn...hope the insides on yours are good.

I believe they are based on the way it locked up! Gonna fix the brake strap and give it a spin before I move it along. V/r Shawn
