I was training up round Constitution/Highgate Hills couple of months ago and had a chat with a courier who was riding an orange low pro brakeless fix that he seemed to want to sell. Nice looking bike but watching him try to stop the thing coming down hill was a lesson in the impracticality of the design off piste... He managed okay, but it looked damned hard on his knees and his head was sticking out in front of him like a gargoyle on a gothic church.
