Singlespeed & Fixed Gear"I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five.
Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)
nice looking bike you built for your son! and i know this is like beating a dead horse, but even if the brake is there doesnt mean he has to use it. and when he runs into a stetchy situation he will be thankful for the brake.
