you can get a 'mock' brake now, it sits on the bolt, but is made of hard-wearing grey plastic, with a thin cable and 'superlite' lever. it looks to all extents and purposes like a brake, but doesn't actually work. this way you can get around the conundrum of not wanting to use a brake, but stay within the letter, or eyes of the law.

what with the wet roads I would quite like one now any way but thanks for the idea

Genius.

seriously i recommend it. this way you don't compromise style and aesthetics at the much-vaunted altar of road safety.
i would even go so far as to say that psychologically, having a 'mock' brake helps me stop, even though i don't have a real one. it's weird.

£10 buys you a long reach caliper at places like CONdor. job done.

It was my first ride brakeless as well and I can't really see the point of not having a brake on a conversion anyway, maybe if it was a track bike that I wanted to pose on

Deep drop 10 GBP.

and you ploughed through a red light because you couldn't stop in time?

Wanted: Front brake

@countrybiker
I'm after a deep drop front caliper as I was pulled over for going though a red light and mr police man was not that impressed by my lack of brakes, even after a skid demonstration.
so what you got? oh and i'm poor but i've got a little change and some bits to swap
