Joe Bell could PAINT a gusset under there. I find the whole situation shocking, and I'd say so, but I'm sure the owner's on the list.
Riding fixed in the woods, I find the rear easier to control without skidding than riding a freewheeling bike. I like having a rear brake, but I covet that Rivendell. Dirt Drop bars, fat tires, a 32/37 up front and a 14 and a 19 in back (on a Phil fixed/fixed, as long as I'm dreaming)... ideal.
