I have yet to jump in on a build off so here it goes.
Some builds are based off a single part, for this one I wanted to employ a Phil Wood drum brake set up I scabbed of a tandem.

I wanted a sort of Lawwill Pro Cruiser type bike for my up coming Fire Road Cruise. Not like I need another bike! Haha So help me, I have a disease...
I had a blem loop section rusting away in the lab so I figured why not a looptail?

While our frames are 110mm, this hub is 135 I think, I did not measure it yet. So I have to widen out the loop a little. I did that by customizing it, I mean by putting in the vice and pulling really hard.
A mock up.
