I have seen one with a mechanical brake.It consists of a lever not unlike modern levers connected to a rubber lined metalblock that rubbed on the front tire near the top of the fork via linkage.No cables were used.Finding one might be quite a task.That being said some of the reproductions use modern caliper brakes.They seem to have quite a following on the internet.Not knowing your location you might want to check for clubs in your local area.
