Everytime I see Vert1go's race bike, I think I get a little too happy. That thing is sooo nice. But Fuzzbox, your Quamen looks pretty clean. Except for that nasty seat. And WTP, I love how you always run your lever on the left side. I was thinking about trying it just for the hell of it.

You broke your right hand at some point or something didn't you? And now it's just preference. But isn't that how like all Australians ride their bikes?

In Australia we generally go left hand rear/right hand front when a bike has both brakes.
On bikes with only a rear brake it tends to vary. Some people keep it on the left so they know their left hand always has the rear brake; other people like it on the right so they know their right hand always has the main brake. Personally I prefer the latter.

Here is a shot of the ride I picked up today. I haven't had one of these for like 10 years! haha is it just me, or are these a little heavier than they used to be?
I still need to adjust the seat and bars, but I haven't got that far yet!

^^^I helped him build it back up today and he was in a hurry to go ride it again after it had been torn down for 2 weeks.

That could be a dumba** move. Did you at least check everything over?
And btw, you can do barspins and tailwhips with a straight cable, it just has to be a little longer and a linear cable helps A LOT.
