Couldn't resist buying this when I came across it on Marktplaats. I have a weak spot for unusual retro bike designs and parts and this ticks pretty much all the boxes.
I took it out for a spin for the first time the other day (hence the pedals) and the ride was different to say the least. The flex of the beam is much more than I thought. Braking with my thumbs was also a new one for me. Never new it excisted until I bought this bike.
The thumb brake works quite well. It is not a powerful as the hand brakes, but if definitely slows you down. Surprised it did not make a comeback with the disc brakes being used on tt bikes nowadays.
