Yeah you can email danscomp, but they mainly carry bmx bikes and I'm pretty sure this is in the category of Mtn bikes so, email eastern26 from their site and ask them. As for the price I have the Nighttrain 24 which was 1300 so I am guessing its cheapper than that. Maybe like 1000 or under, not too sure?
29 pounds isn't that much, but for a rigid I guess its pretty heavy, because my Nighttrain weighs 30, soon to be 29 with my new parts. Its a dirt, street, park bike theres not really a need for a front brake. And sometimes they are just pictured without one, mine was pictured without one but it came woth one when I got it.
