One brake or two?
rogerzilla:
We're talking road-legal bikes here, so no smart-arse "I only ride on the velodrome" answers :P
zigzag:
it depends on the bike's use, for a local runabout one is enough. for more "serious" rides and hilly terrain having two brakes is much safer.
hubner:
I would say 2 calipers and 2 levers, unless you were trying to build the lightest bike you can.
LittleWheelsandBig:
Two brake levers are good for fixed climbing on the road. Suit yourself whether you also fit a rear brake and cable.
Gattopardo:
Can get one lever to do two brakes.
Road legal where, the UK?
