Have another read of my post. I've ridden this bike, and it is unrideable! Just saying there's no lockring isn't enough - someone who doesn't know how important a lockring is will buy it, then be stuck with a bike they can't ride without shelling out another £60 or so to get a proper hub put in. Having two brakes makes zero difference - the cog will unscrew as soon as the speed of the wheel tries to exceed that of the crank. And calling it a 'tourer' hardly makes any difference!
