Ahh, the scuffscoot. All the local flatlanders cobbled one together in the early 90's. Can't remember where the idea came from. I didn't get on with them myself, they needed a brake! I've never seen a modern or good spec one like that tho. What do you use it for?
If it pisses it down tomorrow i'm building one.  ;D

remember seeing that done first on a baco vid in the 90s .did 1 myself +got sick of everybody asking where the rest of the bike was  :idiot2:

lol no point fitting a brake as if u were to use it you would still go over the bars/hit the floor

also it feels nice not to have your hand hovering over the brake all the time
