Rick:

I just picked up a pair of wheels from Scott.  I need to correct myself here, the production wheels are Aluminum.  The prototypes I handled in his shop were steel.  These are motorcycle grade DOT wheels, so they are plenty strong in aluminum.  Anyway, here are the pics with an Avon mounted:







The drum brake is much bigger than the worksman bicycle brake.

 The Speedometer drive fits a standard cable - and Scott has both cables and speedometers in stock to fit.  Right now the only speedometers available are marked in Kilometers.

Very nice!  What is the overall height of the tire?

The Avons are a 3.00x21, and measure a full 27" OD at 35psi.

You could run a smaller 80/90-21 for a 26" OD, but I like the vintage look & the added suspension the tire offers.

The brake drum is a little over 4.5 inches ID, and the shoes a little over 1 inch wide.
