I like the clean look of no front brakes. This thing isn't a cruiser that you take down the interstate at 80, it's just to beat around town so I don't need a lot of braking power.

i thought that about my bike, but i've very much needed the front brakes a few times. too many idiots around i guess. What's that thing weigh? It looks great! I need to finish mine and get some pics up

I'm not exactly sure what it weighs, but it's heavier than you'd expect judging by how small it is.

I have a ton of respect for your 7 and what you've done with this bike, but as someone who's a semi-pro motorcycle racer w/ 150+ races and lost their only cousin to a motorcycle accident, the no front brake is incredibly stupid. Most all of the stopping power on motorcycles comes from the front and, considering the weight of this bike, your stopping distance is probably 4x what it would be with a front brake. Form>Function is fine by me, but not on something as safety critical as a front brake. Please reconsider this decision before you hurt yourself.

Thanks dude. I respect your opinion and concern for a fellow rider and have been debating putting a front brake back on.
