I have ordered tires&chains from them.No hassles and prompt delivery.

I ordered one ---got it with no problem.You do have to supply the hand lever.and what I did was to use a Raleigh adjustable lever which I modified to take the cable.What I did is remove the adjuster and with a drimmel tool cut a line down the threaded part,this allowed the cable to pass and you still can adjust the cable at the lever.
and the drum brake works great.

Harris Cyclery is one of the class acts in all of bicycledom. Sheldon Brown (RIP), their lead tech and web site guru, and all around bicycle advocate and great guy, just passed away this year from (IIRC) some form of multiple sclerosis - but he rode (tadpole recumbent) pretty much right up to the end.

Sheldon's articles are a never ending source of entertainment and enlightenment.

Have to agree re Harris Cyclery being a class act.

I DID run across another place with them in stock:
