  • dont diss, single speed with front brake only and no grips is the way to go, dont listen to these fools they dont know what they're talking about..

    they are right about the pedals though....they dont belong

    (I don't know anyone personally on here so my compultion to bite is minimal.)

    No rear brake = No face.

    Do you actually ride off road with no rear brake?

    (No, not propper off road - just canal tow path on this one. Works a treat, not heavy at the rear and nimble. I have 7 bikes. One of which I do use to go 'proper MTBing' to answer your question. My other bikes do have rear brakes and gears which I use to commute to work with. Commuting to work on ungritted roads = no face, not no rear brake. 1 of the 4 crashes with a car. Thanks for the health ans safety heads up though.)

    I honestly doubt it giving how clean the bike is (especially the tyres), either that or it's an old photo.

    You are right the picture is 2 months old - the bike now looks like a two bit dirty hooker now. All filthy, scratched, squeeky and smelly but still wanting a good ride whatever the weather.

    No rear brake = pet hate. Not being able to control your rear wheel is so stupid and dangerous.

    Unless you are will to stick your foot on your rear tyre (BMX style), freewheel without a rear brake makes you a fucking poseur.

    1. (for a one arm, web footed midget, yes. You hate your pet for having no rear brake? What is your pet doing with a rear brake? Does it have mobility problems? You must have a Muddy Fox as a pet one would assume old chum.)

    2. (yes I am a poseur - mainly in the mirror. Full length of course. With a tub of hair gel, body paint, Harry Hill detachable shirt collar and a reel of red cotton. What can I say.)

    Dang. I think I bit. Like a Marlin. Thanks. I wanted a relaxing Sunday.
