Thanks folks!
Ven, ima have to see those bars on yer scoot but you know me, i like the hands-on builds and especially trick bars, going no cables with those would be sweet btw.

for me, the appeal is simple functionality. this bike has everything i need and nothing i don't need. The new setup actually does have a brake though, it's built in to the rear hub and stops me just fine, I can skid the bike with it. The previous rear brake with the lever and cable and assembly, not to mention the colored cable was all too much for me. The fixed speed is also just perfect for where and how i ride. for cruising, i can peddle up a decent incline without having to stand on the pedals and i can max out doing my HIIT program as well. So i figured why clutter a bike up with a bunch of gears and cables and levers and junk if I don't need it?
super light weight in total too, i can easily carry this bike up stairs and in the sand and such.
