I am more concerned with the choice of a back brake instead of a front brake. Most of your braking power is in the front, so...

There's a front. Just not on. I had just began to strip it down for fresh paint and a few other new bits. Like I said it's a budget build. I wasn't looking to put much coin into it. Most everything is just spares minus...honestly I only bought tubes lol. The rest was in the parts bin.

Thanks! The wheelset is Eighthinch Amelia. They're super cheap, but they're really not bad wheels.
Oh and the saddle angle is something I'm messing with. In another thread it was suggested that I tilt up the front a bit because I was sliding forward and it was uncomfortable. I do think I overdid it though...

I'm super tempted to get a new wheel set....I'd like to keep the wheels I'm rocking now for the trainer. Those are pretty inexpensive, it might be worth looking into.
No longer the blue above. I'll finalize it tomorrow and manual it off into the sunset...

So when you stop does the hand truck hit the seat tube of your T1?

I would post my bike but it has a Selle Italia Flite and a seatpost with a lot of set back on it, not pretty but pretty comfy.

big aero aluminum/crabon =)
although i'd kill for a gt pulse or the likes. steel would be cool too if it was higher end.
affinity kissena's are pretty darn cool too, and not too expensive.
edit: and kissenas are not in stock =(
