Bike porn

I know it's your opinion, (and I'm partly taking issue because it's the setup I have), but I struggle to see how 2 levers and no rear brake looks ridiculous. Plenty of bikes run the rear cable on the left, so it's only the rear caliper you're missing...and I just can't imagine it standing out that much.

fwiw I also like single levers, only really on old skool bikes (pre-70s or so), and with non-aero cable routing...and preferably gum/tan hoods.

...and...

...well because usually when people ride fixed, they loose the rear brake. Which you well know.

i guess i am missing something, because if a lever is there, hanging off the bar, doing sweet FA , nothing, (as in that pic of the Vanilla bike seems to show[?]) , then it just looks stupid and lame doesnt it?..now if it only looked stupid, ok, if it only looked lame, ok, but both!!
