the reduced weight of no braking surface on a tubular + the added weight of BB7 > weight of Tubular with braking surface and decent caliper brakes.
I'm convinced of the advantages of disc brakes on utility style road bikes. Such as the new offerings from Salsa. These bikes arent racing lightweights though.
I can see the argument for dream bikes with crazy light rims for acents, and discs for decents.
Everything inbetween....?
maybe not. But they look cool, and will sell bikes.
