I fitted a front brake to my formerly brakeless Fuji a few weeks ago and I've been enjoying riding it much more. I rarely use the brake at all, still preferring to use my legs to slow down 90% of the time, but I feel that I can ride faster because I know I can stop faster, I don't have to worry about cars pulling out of junctions unexpectededly as much etc.
