Right fine looking bike there, Guv'nah. Sturmey Archer makes a dynohub with a drum brake. I believe the dimensions are the same as the drum-only hub. I have one, and it looks pretty nice, but I haven't gotten around to finishing the project I got it for, so I haven't used it. Quality carries them, but I think they are out of stock right now. It uses the same plug in connection as Shimano, and I'd guess the internals are the same as the low end Shimanos, but I'm no authority on those things. I am not expecting great efficiency but that's no big deal because I'm planning to use it on a cargo bike. But it just now occurs to me that it has the right number of spoke holes for the front of that old rod brake roadster stashed away in the basement... Uh-oh.
I keep going back to the Pashley site and drooling. What size are those white tires?
