Replacing the Rossin conversion which is going to a new owner in Copenhagen, who will hopefully love it more than I ever did

However, should he be using it on the road, and I'd guess not with a gear in the 80's, I'd always use at least a front brake. With a gear that large though, Physics say that it's going to be very difficult to come to any kind of a rapid stop.

Regarding gears, I use a 63/4", but a very experienced friend of mine, when she was racing, would use a 56" fixed wheel.
I'd stay decal- less :)
