Swallow Griffon

Mine had an option welded in for rear drum brake, which i think one of the others guys on here has too (the blue one...forget who's it was)....which was pretty old hat too by then!

Maybe swallow customers were a little more traditional and conservative šŸ¤£
Was mine, then went to AndyZ, it was a ā€˜Merlinā€™, though I donā€™t know enough about their models (or birds!) to tell you the difference. Dual hub brake, long head tube, extremely weird but rode quite nicely.

Very nice, and rather unique looking bike young sir šŸ˜Ž
 
Finding reasonable brake levers was tough, they seemed to always be without the rubber tips on the blades šŸ¤”..... Cue the milliput

Great stuff milliput, I have used it to fix all sorts of stuff including the rubber rings that were split on my XTR skewers.

Anyhoo.... That'll do
