That is correct, but I have seen couriers who have added a front brake. However, Knarf has gone sissy on us, and bought himself a road bike.
--That said by a guy who has two bikes, both full dress commuters that he does not ride much. One a Dunalt English 3-speed from the early seventies, the other a 21-speed Bianchi from the ninties (this one I had to speed a lot of money to turn into a commuter, kevlar tires, fenders, lights, decent saddle, etc). Both have Brooks touring saddles.-- Now I guess we can expect a 1000 posts telling me I should get rid of those old bikes and buy a helium filled boron tube frame racing bike for $20,000. However I would like to point out how consist I am. My favorite camera was made in 1952, my stereo in the seventies, my TV in 1989, my truck in 1994. The watch makers lathe on display on the bookcase in my living room was made in 1892, and the company will make you a new one just like it today on special order. I like things that have stood the test of time. Sorry, stream of consciousness stuff.
