What exactly is the jackass part? Yes maybe some crappy parts on it but it actually doesn't look that terrible! Would I have put on a front brake, hell yeah, would I swap out that saddle, you betcha but all in all it looks like someone actually tried with this one. It looks like a budget build but not just a slop together build.

It looks like a smaller front wheel was used, maybe 26”, such that the distance from the fork crown to the rim is too great to use a front brake.

Really because he wrapped it? That is jackass? I mean like TT said functional and honestly doesn't look terrible. I have seen some worse stuff. Sorry not jackass
Yeah I was thinking that looking upon it but wasn't 100%

Just wanted to post my Softride, too. It's a Traveler touring with a ton of upgrades. There's nothing jackass about it. Except maybe the guy who rides it.
