this.
I recently got a 80s peugeot from a friend who unfortunately is leaving the country. Her rear brakes were used to a point where it doesn't even brake properly and the front one looks just brand new.

anyway. I also think that on a SS, you should have two brakes. Even if u don't use one of them, just for added security reasons. You never know when u need it. Can't hurt.
But I do see a lot of ppl on my commute recently that I thought they were riding a FG since I don't see a rear brake behind them and then I see them coasting. Is that a new trend now? One brake on a SS?
