got new wheels for the old fixed a little bit ago. totally screwed up though.. non machined. did the bridge pedal with the front brake on anyway (because i was told they would inspect bikes to make sure safety requirements were met... lie.) and clipped in, worst experience on a ride ever. granola hippies are kinda like old drivers. anyway, when the roads are dry, i feel more comfortable without the front brake for some reason. totally wish i had a machined front though for this up coming fall weather. front brakes are legit. p.s. the podium seat with the chode hole sucks. bike shorts are a luxury none should be without.
