Disc brakes are dead

I'm mildly astonished that Amey and I are building essentially the same bike.

They are even more impractical than the Paul brakes.

When you see it...

Not my picture, just grabbed from WW, mine are in the boot of Matt's car currently.

In all (well, some at least) fairness I just sold my disc brake bike and built up an old steel rim brake thingy and so far no regrets. I'm sure this is totally unrelated to it being summer. Probably won't regret it when the snow starts to fall.

So, in a way, what you're saying is that you agree with Amey and Skivbromsarna är döda

Parts continue to arrive:

I need cranks and handlebars, and for Matt to stick all the tubes together.

SRAM Red cranks, or Cannondale SiSl2?

SRAM reportedly work better.

@Dammit is like:

Sisl2 are lighter and stiffer. Why even consider red?

Coz carbon is cooler

Haha, not really. I just feel for the poor guy. Trolled for 50 straight pages.

SiSl2 look coolest

Because eTap.

Moar like:

Sora? £50 wheels?

Those Paul brakes!

@amey I think you need to cancel the bike and start again. Those brakes are quite something.

Pretty sure Amey earns more than I do, which makes the Sora all the more entertaining.

He's also much faster than I am, I have little doubt, so I'm going to create my usual MAMIL-chariot to be slow on, because reasons.

S&S
Short wheelbase
Cantilever brake

Lives alone

not #tukt

6 couplers on one frame?? That's like $3000 in couplers alone....how small must it pack up?!

@amey pls

Rear hub aint cheap either...

A quick search shows they fit in a 20x20" case!

Can we get to 100 pages with no picture of stupid bike?

Easily, where's Uber Gruber to post 50 pages of lube
