I miss riding my old Fuji frame. Although it was a little to small for me it had a sense of character that my Kona will never have.

Wish I wouldn't have sold it. :(

anyway, I decided to go brakeless for the my birthday/first day of Spring break. I rode for an hour with just drops and it sucked. I went home and put on my hoods and it was all good. I am the fred of brakeless.

And confession: I feel like I know you people better than I do...guess thats what i get for checking this forum 10 billion times a day

I think Brakeless is stupid in public road.
I think Brakeless is slower in public road.
I think pedals and Saddles are the most important parts on the bike becuase they are directly connected to your body and your body input.
I think deep dish rims are stupid. (weight sooo much. I like CF deep rims though)
I think not every FG people skids

cc700 04-10-11 01:31 AM

Haha, I knew it, and was waiting for you to convert to the ....braking...brake....broke....? Whatever side it is, I knew you wanted to do it deep down inside!

cc700 04-10-11 01:53 AM

i rode with a brake for the first year and a half. then i flipflopped from the brake side to the no brake side for another year and a half mostly on the brake side. now i try to put a brake back on but it just looks too good!

Butthash 04-10-11 02:10 AM

Oh wow, I didn't know that (shows my newbie factor to the forums)
Yeah, that is a really ****ing sweet stealthy ride, funny that you post it just now, because I just clicked out of drooling over it in your pedal room right before this post! A brake may impede the flow a little, but the safety is probably work it if you mash hard. Maybe a reverse lever, I don't think it would be terrible on those drops.

frantik 04-10-11 02:33 AM

damn that thing looks killer.. a brake might not look as cool but a mangled bike and a full body cast looks even lamer :lol:

cc700 04-10-11 02:43 AM

indeed!

Love everything about this pic, and never would've taken you for the murdered-out type.
