Hand positions on drop bars

Jammy, don't take this any other way than how it sounds...

If you know nothing about riding road bikes, you won't need to worry about riding brakeless. You'll have a set of hoods to chill on, until you find it comfortable to make amendments

right?
(just agree, or you'll get flamed.....)

Oh, too true!
Was more of a pointless pondering. Though I was considering just a front brake on my road bike project when I get it moving, so I suppose I'd have to go with a "dummy" handle on the other side.
