Hi Nick !

I ve rode around 20 km, mainly on city, but also a little hill, and it would be all right for the chain tension !
The bike is very pleasant to ride, the seat is surprizing comfortable, and the 42x17 gear is well appropriate for city riding.

But I must reconize that the brake power is not its main asset !
The bike slow down more than it stop ; it's better is you stand up, charging your weight on the front whell.

But it is what I was expecting, and I don't regret, because my goal was the look, not the efficiency !

Not sure many will be rushing to follow your lead on the braking set up! You could be like a rad street rider and just use your foot on the back tyre...

How about getting a hydraulic brake and filling the grip with fluid? The harder you squeeze, the more you brake... Just a thought.
