Not initially, but that is the plan. Been riding mountain bikes for the last 15 years so this is a bit of a departure from what I am used to. It's really nice though. Simple! (like the rider)

Where?
I can't see any lines or levers?

Its pictured with none because its intended to be run fixed gear which require the rider to slow down through the pedals not using brakes, basically you stop pedalling the bike stops!

Its like the bikes they run in the velodrome

Maybe a fashionable sandal.

Yes I am. Comes with a freewheel as standard but the hub is threaded both sides. Got a Dura Ace fixed sprocket and lock ring for £15.
