There are two reasons to the discs really, one is riding lots in snow and rain and wanting decent braking, the other is being able to buy cheap Chinese carbon clincher rims without worrying about brake wear. Also the bike would be going to Sweden frequently, Italy, France and Switzerland occasionally for riding, so it will see some proper hills..
I don't really want a cross frame as I wont be using anything bigger then 25c on it..
I'll check out the Salsas...
