My other ride...it's a 2-stroke

This is my aluminum 2-stroke beach cruiser--->

Love it. What kind of rear brake are you using? Drum brake?
I once owned a Specialized Globe that had the top tube hammered flat behind the seat tube like yours.

Yeah, it's a band brake or drum if you will...it works pretty well with the disc up front. Thanks!
