the copper flake may be an idea to concider. i do have silver, copper and burnt copper flake on the shelf right now. im just gonna go with the poll and see where that takes me.hmratbam wrote:It only takes one brake to slide the rear wheel,the benefit of the additional brake would be the added weight to make it not slide quite as soon? There are some tiny little front discs out there that wouldn't hurt the looks much and would provide some stopping power.
On the paint thing if you're going to put on more copper than the taillight,then you could tie it all together with a copper flake in the paint, whatever color.
as far as front brakes go, the original intent is to build an old style chopper. im hoping to adapt a second caliper to the rear to be actuated independantly of the original rear brake. the intention is to use a hand lever so that i can set up a foot clutch and still have a hill holder.
if necessary i will see about adding a front brake.
i have a certain build style in mind but i still want to be able to be able to ride it most anywhere. that may require a front brake or not. time will tell and i will do what it takes to keep it ridable and not be just a garage ornament.
