Hi all, newbie here.

I've just bought this fixie: Vilano Bicicleta de piñón fijo Bicicleta modelo Fixie de Ruta de una Velocidad: Amazon.com.mx: Deportes y Aire Libre

and it comes with a rear brake. I've been reading that the standard is to have a front brake instead of a rear one. So, is it safe and ok to install it in the front wheel (looping the extra length of the cables on the body) or do I need to buy a dedicated front brake?

Thanks for your advise,
Gabe.
