even if you have a proper hub with lockring, the inertia you get with such a heavy frame + more grip running fatter tyres will mean that you wont ever be able to stop your bike on time. i can ride brakeless on my road conversions and track bikes with skinny tyres but would never consider doing so on a dutch bike. please use a brake and don't kill yourself :)
