Hey, Mad Dog. Nice family of Electra's ya got there! I'm curious as to how the radial laced drum brakes are working out for ya. I like to use those Sturmey's myself, but not sure I would want to do radial.

Hi. Thanks, doing the best.. Next electra will be some 20'' Bicycle for son. Now in local shop on sale is Super 72... But son is to small: 3.5 year old....

About front brakes, Bro's Sparker and my Boney Finger have Drum brake, beter than nothing.... but when i bought bikes, they have good price... So i more use coaster brake...
Mother amsterdam... i think that front brake (roller brake) is used for maybe 2 or 3 times for almost 2 years, she also use coaster brake..

Wifes townie have V brake - that is amazing how fast can stop that bike, but wife also dont use brake, becouse brake is to sharp..
 
I've made some changes to the Rally Sport. Thought I'd give fenders a try for the Summer. Gary

Here's a shot of a short break during our Earth Day EBF group ride. 84 people attended the ride, most of whom were on Electras.

Yes it it. Says Electra on the other side. It's a cool bag just a little hard to get into. I wish it would open up more. I've been thinking about taking it to the shoe repair shop or local Upholstery shop for a minor stiching re-do. It's heavy leather, perfect for a lock, soda or wallet. Gary
 
Just picked up this RS on Craigslist for less than the price of the two whitewalls! :)

My latest CL score. I re-laced the wheels in a 3L-3T pattern, while upgrading to a Nexus 7 rear and a Sturmey drum brake front.
