$349 RRP Goldcross.
Would look sweet with no front brake
I guess if you dropped the chain ...... might need the front brake

Total respect!!the grid wrote:Um just buying the bike for riding not a fashion statement. The simplicity is the attraction ... don't live in the big smoke so don't need to worry about being hip.
Enjoy your new bottle opener with bonus bike attachment
Hell yeah, FWIW , I ride brakeless fixed now, and rode many years of my child hood with a rear coaster only. Lose a chain in either permutation and you just stick ya foot between the seat tube and rear wheel and sacrifice a shoe sole in the name of braking.munga wrote:i reckon you'll be fine without a front brake.

Frame a bit short for me so may change to bullhorns
Coaster brake can be touchy and lock up at speed ? needs a bit of use.
Otherwise quite good fun.
I have been riding about 18k return to the beach and loving the simplicity
Also seem to get a better workout then geared bike.
I sat watching the surf this morning then rode about 3k toward home feeling great then realised it was because I'd left my helmet on the park bench doh!

I read an article on this model on urbanvelo. Good to see that the manufacturers are getting into coaster brake bikes.
I can't see why you can't ride without a front brake with a coaster rear, how many of us used to ride around as kids with that same setup and I never had a drama with it.

Its also a bugger at intersections when you can't back pedal to get the pedal in the right position to take off.
