Fair comment.
I'm pretty relaxed about not having state of the art tech on my builds. My 2 existing gravel bikes have mini-V and Sturmey drums so I'm guessing that whatever I end up choosing will be an improvement.
Essentially I'm building a winter bike that I can use off-road in the summer and part of me still thinks that a winter bike is basic/simple/cheap.This is how I separate my personal and professional life...
Rik_Van_Looy-
I totally get it if you just want to build up a cost effective winter bike based around what you have lying around, but having a brand new bespoke frame built to specifically accommodate now defunct standards is just plain crazy talk!
I’m actually surprised anybody still makes cable disc callipers TBH!

Your first post says you are an engineering director, yet you want to have a custom frame built around a post mount fork and cable disc brakes? This makes absolutely no sense.
It’s probably best you just buy the Moots you were looking at.
