1951 Hercules Kestrel - What now?

Morning Dogtrousers. Yes, you are correct in your legal assumption. You must have at least one brake attached to the bike (especially fixed). The "Lapwing" bike SSmatty is trying to recreate designed purely for track racing.

Does the one brake apply fo fixed gear and freewheel?
Another post says I need two brakes if I have a freewheel.

I think a solo brake with fixed is ok (as fixed is a brake). However, single free-wheel needs two brakes.
