My bud in Amsoil Tech Service has been off, so I haven't gotten any input yet.

Here's another pic of the "Bomber"...you can see the new rear wheel & header wrap that weren't in the first pic.
I'll post another when I get the front drum brake!
It's just not going to be the same when both wheels aren't rusty anymore. Now I'll have to put on a newer springer fork too!!!
I think at that point, I'll end up painting the frame black too...

Here's a pic of the new (used) drum brake...
I could have bought a brand new (& much better) drum a lot cheaper, but I thought it would stick out like a sore thumb on the old Bomber...
It really sucks that something old and crusty costs twice as much!!!

It doesn't stop very well but it does everything I wanted it to...
1...Take some of the work off the rear coaster...
2...Now I have a back up in case the rear brake fails again...
3...And it looks way cool! (it makes the bike look and feel a little more like a motorcycle!)

Is that a Worksman wheel? If so they can't be beat they are really tough and probably the best you can get. Your bike looks sweet with lost of nice crusty detail...Kelly

The drum brake was made in Norway, it's called a JOS or J&S? I'm not sure...
The rim is just a wide taiwan steel cruiser rim.
Palms Cycle here in LA laced it all up for $30.00

I sold the 'Bomber" on Sunday for $700.00
I hated to let it go, but everything has a price!

My next personal ride will be the 59 Schwinn "rat rod"

Wow $700!

That's crazy expensive, but hey, if they'll pay for it I guess some of the price had to do with the vintage frame?

Seems pretty reasonable to me for all the labor that went into it + parts, not to mention how cool it looks. Can't be paying yourself minimum wage!
