Its not what you guys thought it was, it rides good, long distance good, and with both breaks off now its lighter, not that bad of a frame, back tire did pop second day, 31st from the hub is the worst street for pot holes ever.

Pic not showing. Just want to point out that when I recently invested in a bicycle from a LBS it came with a 60-day no-flat guarantee (and a year of free adjustments).

I like the colors.
You should consider taking it to a shop to get it safety checked at least. That rear brake cable looks like it was installed by Re-Cycle.
$.02

$.02 I was looking at their website. I'm assuming they WANT people to take the rear brake off. All their bikes have what looks like zip ties holding the cable in place.

Or do away with the bars all together and slip a single oury grip over your stem to steer with.

Without commenting on whether the law is good or bad, I'd just like to point out that another mplsbikelove poster was recently ticketed for not having brakes when he was riding his brakeless fixie.

I would assume he did so. Go read the "F*ck the police" thread in General Discussion for yourself - he didn't provide much detail.
