Front brakes..NONEXISTENT....Rear brakes will stop you, if you have about a hundred feet, neither will even come close to locking wheels. Since that first post up there, I have attended the BritBike.com 3 state mountain ride, a loop of about 212 miles. Then attended the "Brits in the Blue Ridge" rally in Hiawassee, Georgia last month. Me and the bike learned ALOT about each other during that time, but she never let me down. Approaching 1000 miles now, still runs flawlessly!
