2011 Trek Fuel EX6:
Stock except a Sram X7 39/26 chainset and Nobby Nics.
Photo taken 300ft from my house in Stockholm, Sweden. If I don´t feel like going far I have this funny little loop that´s about half a mile long with some really technical, rocky and rooty parts.

This bike been featured many times on the hybrid forum and refered to as a hybrid for being made up of parts from all aspects of cycling.
I thought another group of people might like a look for something different. I'll call it a franken bike for the MTB forum.
Just a quick sum of parts.
JBC 26er carbon frame.
Spinergy 29er wheels.
FSA energy 50-34 road crank, Ultegra derailler.
XTR 11-32 cassette, XT rear derailler.
Karbona carbon Cyclocross forks.
XT duel control brake/shifters.
Depending on where I ride tyres are changed between Schwalbe 35c sammy slicks or Vittoria corsa evo 23c road slicks.
Weight 8.1 kg.

Why not have a single brake in the front rather than the rear? Never really thought about it until now, but it seems like if you only need one brake, putting it up front would be ideal.
I'm sure there's a reason, I just don't know what it is.

Bikes: everywhere
Some people ride brakeless freewheel.
Some people like to have some kinda brake but also want to do barspins and not do the detangler deal.
Some dirtjumpers like to hit their rear brake midair to help get the nose down for hitting downslope of the landing.

Where only having a front brake only on a fixed gear is fine, having a front brake only on a dirt jumper is asking for trouble, you also use the rear brake if you need to scrub a little speed off. With a front brake and a suspension fork, you could be thrown.
