plain crazy talk!
This is a really good point. A PM fork can be swapped out if I end up needing the full force of hydraulics or whatever but a frame should be more futureproof (FM, internal routing, thru axle)
The reason for bespoke geo is not to accomodate obsolete standards but just to get a more aggressive geometry at a sensible price point.

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!
