Ya know, all I have is the coaster brake on these bikes because they have always worked so well. But a front brake would be cool. I originally installed front hand brakes on my regular 26'' cruiser because it came with no fender. The first GTS stretch cruiser had the springer forks and the big fender, I could'nt fit the brakes I had on them because of that. And I knew there was something out there but costly! So I decided to just stick with what I have!
