Rod linkages and drum brakes: A 1965 Urania arrives

I traded off a few cranksets yesterday, and acquired this disassembled oddity:



Behind that mess is a DL-1-esque, 1965 Urania rod-brake roadster. Most of the hardware is Sturmey-Archer - including the dual, rod-brake-operated Sturmey drum brake hubs - with the pile of various other parts shown here on the table:



Another interesting tidbit are its rims: 28", aluminum Westrick-pattern. Pretty unique in its own right.

More photos to come - I'm going to get to work on it right now.
