The bike features a terrific design, it could attract anyone who loves modern design, simplicity or minimalism. This is a single-speed bike with less cables and nothing to ruin the simplified design. The simple design will help maximize convenience as well as reduce costs for maintenance. There is just one cable for the dual-pivot caliper brake on the front. The front-brake could be unassembled and the bike would look as clean as the Speed Uno again. However, probably you will find the front-brake useful because some states require to attach it by law. I tried to use the rear coaster brake by backpedaling but it is really not easy to get familiar. Therefore, to guarantee your safety and durability of your tire and brake, I recommend to keep the front-brake.
