Slightly off topic, I bought one of these about 5 months ago.. rode it for about a month, 4 mile commute each way.. was freewheel. Changed it fairly quickly for my current bike which is light years ahead, but for 140 (bought it new NOT stolen), it was quite a good deal.. without it I wouldn't have got into cycling in the city.
How many of them have really had breaks/fails that are dangerous? This one was ragged around in snow, rain, kept outside etc, and it's still going (gave it to a mate).. are they really that bad?
On having a brakeless one, that IS retarded, I wouldn't have a brakeless anything though!
