fixed wheels with 2 brakes is damn comfortable, it's surprisingly how much relaxing it is to ride without relying on your legs to brakes (even with front brake only).

It's an IRO, right?

edit - just notice it hasn't got a front brake, whoop! you should check out the S2C though, 2 speed kickback coaster brake hubs.

yes IRO. thing with this bike is that i put zero dollars into it. it's all just parts i find floating around in the tide. i'm too cheap to even buy a freewheel for it. It didn't have brake for the longest time, but my friend wanted to ride it for a weekend and was afraid of platforms and no brake. this brake set up was already a togethered unit to i threw it on quickly.

i don't think i've ever oiled the chain. the tires are 3 years old. it has 4 layers of paint on it which i don't even take the bike apart to apply. notice the paint on the front wheel and rear brake.

lovely bike to ride though.
