How far away are we from having these integrated disc brakes?
Was thinking about this randomly the other day. It's not so much 'integrated' as it is 'custom made'.
I suspect the roadblock now is simply cost; you'd need to machine your own disc caliper and pistons - which is going to be spendy. You'd need two versions of it for the different types of fluids used. Then you'd need to warranty work on it when it doesn't work.
Not a whole lot in it for frame makers, really.

Is that red lump something that Argon can realistically produce in-house and somehow have it work with disc brake systems as we know them today?
