Three year old bump.
Have a project in my head, and the possibility of getting a frame custom built up for it. Alfine 8spd Hub Gear at the rear, clearances for larger tyres, think 28s and above, and for some reason I've set my heart on disc brakes. What are the advantages, disadvantages of disc brakes? Will I be pining for rim brakes, or will I never go back. This bike is supposed to be for all year found riding, so it has to be robust enough to get me through rain, sleet and snow...
