Default Front Drum Brake

I really like the look of the front drum brakes. See pic.

Does anyone know where I can get one of these? Are they significantly better than a vee brake?

You know there was some talk about installing a coaster brake wheel on the front with a cable pull to activate it. Wouldn't that be similar to a drum brake. I have no idea that is just a guess

Sturmey Archer makes a sweet one with a dynamo. I got one for about 65 bucks from JensonUSA.com. Of course you will have to build a wheel or have a bike shop do it. I built my own here is a link to my blog

Does anyone know where I can purchase a speedometer for a Worksman 20" front wheel with a drum brake?
