Looking over the link you made available to us(thanks by the way) I see the customizers all got into the same rat hole, copying each others ideas just like they do nowadays. Guess somethings never change. Those really long front ends, and no front brakes musta cost a few guys lives just to look cool! Wonder what it was like to drive one of em? I guess countersteering and evasion was not an option? Come to think about it, I guess braking wasn't either Vegas
These things are so light you really don't need the front brake. They kill your back, and your sides, hardtail. I only consider this thing a bar bike. You don't want to take a hike on it.
