Functional bikes. Not Porn not Anti

Friend rented a CX bike the other day, I liked the cable discs. Easier maintenance (than hydro), and still performing better than most calipers/cantis. And hydro groupsets are absurdly expensive still.

I was pondering getting a CX frame, cable discs with my current groupset, then maybe upgrade to hydro a few years down the line when they're a lot cheaper. It's the only way to switch from rim brakes to discs without buying a whole bike outright (probably better value doing that but whatever)
