I'm interested to see so many right-hand-front-brake advocates. I've run right-front since I started racing in '77, because I was told that was "how the Italians do it." It also made sense to me that the dominant hand should operate the dominant brake. Folklore in my neck of the woods was that the Italians ran right-front, and the English ran left-front.

I rarely or almost never see other bikes set up right-front.
