We
allmostly ride bikes that compromise on their ability to do something because they are not the most technically advanced.The bike in question could be made more suitable for riding technical terrain by fitting any of the following,
A front brake
2 hand brakes
A front suspension fork
24speed wireless electronic shifting gears
A dropper post with a remote.I am 110% positive the ironies of the only cable on the bike being for something as extraneous as a dropper post and of having as modern a convenience as a dropper post on a bike with no gears, no suspension and a coaster brake is not lost upon the owner/builder.

I actually like the bike, and the owner has gone to some pretty wild places with it.
All I'm highlighting is the contradictions of it, which a lot of people simply will not comprehend.
You do, because you tinker and make a lot of crazy shit. Others will just see it as a pointless exercise in self congratulation.
I can see the issue though. Dropper implies (and why not just go for a Vyron and do away with cables) the bike will be hitting some kinda beefy stuff.
But just a coaster to slow you down...hmm..
