here in germany fixed drivetrain doesnt count as brake. germans and rules innit?!
had an encounter with fahrradpolizei about a year ago which let me off with a warning, with the caveat of fixing my bike (theres a post somewhere in the berlin thread, on phone, cant be arsed) and showing at a police station with the leaflet with remarks they gave me. so I made the previously mentioned adapter for a non-drilled frame no longer in my possession and that worked a treat.
looking fwd to getting the frame, it really does look tasty for the money with the smooth welds and all that.

nah man, your drivetrain is considered as one set of brakes and the common EU legislature goes, that you need two. hence, you're good with a front brake only #ifyouridefixedofcourse
