ha ha ha. yeah, and I bet someone will say they have one. That's well cool. Wish i could do that. There's no way i can use CAD software. It took me 3 months just to figure out how to post bleedin' pictures on this site

when we all got bmx's in 83, a mate of mine who lived at a big pub had some hand me down contraption
it was kinda bmx-ish, but had suspension, and drum brakes. i think it was made by yamaha.
anyway he didnt like it (he was 10, the bike weighed a good 60 pounds) so it went to the tip - DOH
then he had some piece of crap thing in metallic red and white, with kuwahara ET stickers on it.
that went to the tip too - double DOH
after that he got a scorpion brakedancer. doh again.
anyway the point being was that his springer machine had a front drum brake. it worked well, but the bike was so heavy.
wish i could go back in time and stop him throwing that and the kuwi ET away.
the scorpion brakedancer was a rubbish bike btw. super heavy with crap components.

This photo doesn't really show it, but the Felt cruisers have a front hub brake. Looks quite neat in the flesh..
