A PK Ripper set up for freestyle with a pretty unique braking set-up.

i think it is pretty cool also, just needs a frame stander!

should definitely be kept the way it is but it's going to be sold dread to think what'll be done to it

I would have thought a more elegant solution is the one that dude did on the Scorpion Breakdancer (Ronster?) with the dual rear brake set-up.  That had an adaptor on the brake lever to run two cables from the one lever.

This one looks way over-engineered  :LolLolLolLol:.
