The Steamroller IS drilled for both front and rear brakes. It's closer to road geometry than to track geometry which is desireable for some folks. It's a basic 4130 steel frame with a double-butted main triangle and I think it's worth considering. I really like mine alot .... and built one for my girlfriend too.
