no pics but basically I used the same housing that's on the rear brake lever now and a shift cable to the brake, it does lock up the wheel....I wouldn't recommend it as a front brake. I've heard of fixed gear road bikes with bar con ( bar end shfiters) as a rear emergency brake.
awesome,brethren, awesome
Very cool. Dig the bars.
that's a cool bike. i'd narrow the bars about 2" each side.
that looks great. nice score on the green. i love those old schwinns stripped down. i built one a few years ago, rode it around for awhile and then traded it for a chainsaw.
Looks great. Thats easily my favorite varsity color.
