The indexed "quickfire" trigger opertation is smooth enough to convert every last ounce of leg energy into speed.

My runabout. Extremeley fast off the mark thanks to frame geometry, not a fixed or or single gear, but a gear for each and every circumstance to enable very short blistering speed bursts before running out of legs and collapsing. I love to outrage law-abiding citizens, immobilized car drivers, pedestrians and law-enforcement officers. Designed above-all to be very nippy around town, to be able to jump on and off sidewalks at high speed, to be thrown down steps, across manicured grass, through flowerbeds, and generally be very uncivilized when I'm feeling antisocial (most days). The front end is exciting in that it has a mind of it's own. Given the unpredictability of pedestrians, dogs and car drivers, brakes matter to me: the back vee-brake will lock the wheel with moderate two finger pressure, the front is more progressive but very efficient: center-pull, good pads, careful cable setup and regular adjustment. Altogether a fun machine to ride.
