Are all the road disc mounts the same or do you need to worry about Shimano or Hope specific mounting holes?

You only need them on the front.

@hippy you want to buy my V Twin? I give you good price etc.

The Giant would be my 1st thought but does it have guard eyelets?

Harley?

I think I read in the blurb that it has hidden mudguard mounts.

Or I could go custom built.. that would facilitate midfoot better and I could spec whatever other shit I fancied.

Unless you want a carbon fork with disc mounts, mudguard eyelets and room for 28mm tyres...

Why is that? Boardman, Giant, etc all have this type of fork available, no?

Oh wait, I was thinking of Dammit's issues with finding one, but now I remember that he didn't want the length of a cyclocross fork.

He's got issues. I'm an off the shelf and make it work kinda guy.
Scherrit was over though and mentioned it. I know he's done some specs for Burls in the past so it's a possibility. I like the idea of being able to just grab another one from a shop rather than waiting months to have something built though. I don't do the whole artisan thing - I just want utility and I want it quick. Still, custom would mean I could have it specced to do whatever I wanted. Discs seem like a nice idea but then I'll need to adjust everthing again for the race bikes. Gaahh!

No Hope V Twin

then I'll need to adjust everything again for the race bikes. Gaahh!

Give up racing = Problem solved.

I'm running 30's at present and want to go to 32/35's

No tanks. I want full hydro to eliminate cables or I'll just stick to rim brakes.

I basically did this year. #sadface

Spending hour after hour on British roads almost requires a kidney belt like moto x. :)

I still want to test ride a fatbike for my commute route :)

I think I read in the blurb that it has hidden mudguard mounts

It has a clever little adapter which bolts on the back of the seat clamp which allows you to mount a rack. There are also 'guard mounts on the inside of the seat stays (at least there are on a TCX SLR 2)

Has anyone picked up a 2014 Ridgeback Flight 04, its a good looking bike and at 799 in the sales its a tempting price. I wish it were just a single speed bike with drop bars though rather than an internal hubbed one.

Any thoughts on it?

Is there something like this Orbea Avant but metal and cheaper?

28s+, mudguards, Di2, hydraulic discs

"heavy wheels and high overall weight blunt its speed and climbing ability" LOL 8.5kg
blame the tools why don't ya?!

If you're not bother about the aesthetics what about the disc equilibrium and then just run the cables on the outside with those shimano sticky pad things?

Fork not tru-axle;

If I was going discs I'd want the Shimano Di2 offering.

Anyone know a frame that will do T-rex proportions? I ride 53 top tube 57 seat tube

Why you need long seat tube? Can't you just raise the saddle?
