You didn't keep the front brake? That would be total old school. As for the stickers, I bought a pack of stickers from 2009 and after I took mine off, I put on a single WTP white sticker on my frame on one side only ala Flybikes frames. Looks sharp.

You're right about those stickers. Too much on the eyes.

Front rim is a non braking rim, so running them wasn't even an option! Yeah, I removed the top tube and bottom tube stickers, looks much cleaner now Smile I'll post the pics, minus front brake, bell and stickers when I have enough light!

Thanks dude! Yeah I use my bmx for a whole heap of things, nearest skate park is about a 3 mile ride out too so helps to have my rear still attatched.

Yeah, I mean part of me gets the whole brakeless thing, I have to admit when I'm at the local park I can end up dabbing sometimes when I really should learn to flow more, but when I need that out option, and just for generally getting around I can't really consider brakeless.

I find you can still be nice and flowy with brakes. You get used to not tapping them. But I found with myself when i had them off I would go so slow! trying tricks with way less speed then I needed. I feel more comfortable going fast and flowing around ( or trying to haha ) with my rear brake :b lol.
edit: Not trying to hate on brakeless either. If your comfortable on your bike enough to flow around going fast with out em, its sick. I just hate seeing people who barely move when there trying stuff cause they can't stop proper.

Ah, that's right. My Trust has that same type of front rim with the funky curve on the walls, not flat walls like the rear.

Yeah, that should look hot without the stickers. I think you'll love this bike. I put a laid back seatpost on mine to stretch it out a little since I actually like to sit down and pedal - like you, my riding spot is a long way away. I also got a Goldfinger brake lever because I found that the Salt lever is really uncomfortable.

Cheers, bro. Just wish the weather would warm up.

I see that all over the place here in Korea. Kids getting these new bikes, then the first thing they do is yank off the brakes because they see all the other riders in other countries doing it too. A couple of years ago, everyone murder blacked their bikes because that dude from Animal did it. Now, because of Aaron Ross, all the kids are repainting their bikes in obnoxious day-glo colors.

It happens everywhere. Haha. Won't lie when I first started riding I goofed and based some upgrades off of what was trendy at the time ( ie. slammed plastic seat ) bright green frame on my bigger bike. but I've gotten better. haha. My opinions>internet as of now... haha.
