Like I said... I don't want to rehash the brake vs brake-less issue (even though I am a brake nazi).

That has been done to death and nothing anyone says will change people's minds... and I do have to admit that I have a sweet little ride in the shop that is currently brake less and clip less although it won't stay that way for long.

It's too old and too slow for the track and I already crashed it once when it was a coaster equipped bike...I don't feel like repeating that as I lost a beautiful Ishiwata fork.
