I didn't doubt you, but that sounded too dumb to be true. Even on Fixie, no front brake is a poor option. About the only thing this might make sense for is a coaster brake beach cruiser. Even there I'd like a front brake so I don't skid into a collision.

It's nice to know that after 45 years in the bike industry, I can still be surprised by the levels of stupidity in the offerings.

To the OP, cancel this purchase, and buy something suitable.
