Road Bike of Meganess

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...

Fair enough.

Why not. For me the opertunity to run lighter rims offsets the extra weight. Its just a case of spending more and getting better braking.

The colossal from Salsa is a full on road bike. Its comes in Ti or steel flavours. I'm not sure how it is in Denmark. But in Norway the roads are salty long after the snow has gone. I have friends that wont ride there road bikes untill the washer has been around, and it rained a few times. As you're considering discs it seems sensible to go Ti. Plus with your mileage, you deserve it ;)
