Five months later, but finally got some discs on the Acid. Bad photos, haven’t used it for a couple of months and didn’t bother cleaning it before it got pushed to the back of the shed.
Salvaged the brakes and wheels from a scrap bike at the yard, so paid pennies for a working set of avid disc brakes and the wheels and stuff.
Need some washers and to adjust everything.
Also put 20T on the back instead of 14, but it still felt a bit speedy on the flats. Because of the stays, limited to 34T chainring at the smallest, and even then it’s very close to the bone. Might go even lower at the back to try force me to slow down. Maybe take it to the technical trail the other side of town. Need it nice and low gearing for a change.

Frame and fork have disc mounts and you’re using V brakes.
