I have never insisted on ronly unning a front not a rear brake. But I chose the front because the brake cable was easier to route and I liked the simpler look.
Not exactly sure why everyone is getting their panties bunched, the bike is not even a week old. Most of the stuff on in was recycled from my previous beater build. A new front brake is on the way and as soon as I make up my mind, a new stem, handlebar and brake lever will be ordered.
The build may progress to a different direction, I may run a rear brake and go fixed. I don't know yet. I'm not opposed to two brakes or rear only brake but so far with the stuff I had laying around, this is how it came out.
