Sturmey Archer front drum brake complete with Lever

[tripple3]

Somebody built this with 12 gauge spokes and tied them. I will sell it complete if needed asking $200 plus shipping located for local pick up in fountain Valley California.

Everything has been spray-painted baby blue and the cable has the lever holder for the fork and tiny little set screws for the end of the cables on both ends

Dumb question, but are 12 gauge spokes the same as 120 gauge?

I have been told there are no dumb questions....
I don't know. they are thick Heavy Duty. I do not have calipers.

Thanks bricycle
I used the # stamped in the hubs. Not sure actual measurement of spoke thickness....

FYI, numbers on the hub are date code: 46 12 = 1946, December. I have a 46 5 which denotes May of that year. Spokes might be .120s which are the next thickness up from 12 gauge (.105) but not exactly sure from the pictures.

Thanks for the info. I am pretty certain it's custom since they are "tied"
Make me an offer. I am not going to use it. Thanks
