@ChasnotRobert, ah of course.
I've been riding an Thorn 853 audax bike with Shimano R650 brakes and 9 speed Ultegra shifters and the braking performance is excellent. It's the best braking performance after discs and Vs. I was considering putting a disc fork and getting a tab brazed on the rear but not sure it will add much but dont think I need it will probably get the frame and forks sprayed and tart it up.
It's also one of those frames built by Lee cooper with sealed tubes so I better give it shake to see if it's full of water!
