Current Projects chat and miscellany

It makes me sad as well because I have a brake waiting to go on it, and until I get the problem with the front fork sorted out (thursdfay!) I can't fit it - and therefore can't ride it.
However there is one braking mechanism on it. It's personal choice to ride brakless..it's just not my personal choice.

@ed it feels a lot lighter, even with heavy spok of woe and deep v/phil of doom.

I see, I'm interested to see what it will be like with a brake fitted. Does this mean you won't be running a set of straps on it?
