And if I decide that I drive quite safely at 100mph in town, you'd be happy with that too?
Or if I decide that the BAC limit is wrong for me and I can happily handle 12 pints before driving my cement mixer home that's cool.
"Oh but you're less likely to kill someone on a bike" isn't a counter argument. My tax pays for your A&E treatment when you end up face first into the back of a cab.
That wouldnt have been my counter argument, in fact I dont have a argument as such, was just stating that people should ride however they feel most comfortable and safest.
Dosnt really have anything to do with driving though does it, and I pay my own tax too so maybe I'll pay for my own A&E treatment.Also I need to post three times before I can post my classified ad :-)

I started out with a front brake on my fixed gear, then got new wheels (700c to replace the dated 27's) and the front brake no longer fitted. Having ridden for sometime going brakeless felt right and I started out riding slower than normal to ensure I had sufficient bike control etc.
I now feel significantly more comfortable riding without the front brake, knowing that my emergancy stop is a rear wheel skid makes me feel more comfortable than a paniced grab at the front brake. I think it has also benefitted my riding and awareness on the bike and I now feel a lot more responsive and reactive to the environment around me.
Saying this I also believe it is a 100% personal decision, people should ride with whatever they feel most comfortable with whether its one, two or no brakes.
Interested in the frame if it's still available, sent you a PM.
