Love this bike, has always stuck in my mind since you first posted it in this thread.
Is there a noticable difference between using the disc brake with a 'proper' v brake lever and a cross lever?
Yes, but not a massive difference, plus the disc brake is powerfull enough as is - works much better with the BB7 than with the Shimano Deore that is in the pic
The main reason i have the Cross top is that the bars are an oversize diameter through to the grips, so a standard lever will not fit, which rather limited my choices.
