Fixed with no brakes is probably more dangerous than freewheel with a BACK brake, fine. However, relying on front wheel braking rather than back wheel braking is definitely a stuupid idea.
What really beggars belief is the fact that it came with two brakes and you decided to take one off.
How about we make it a best of three. You can have your bollock measuring (which you may or may not win), but we also spice it up with "how smart you are" and "are you a genuine cyclist or just another band wagon jumping little poseur"? I'm happy to win 2-1.
