The main problem with disc is the fork limitation, it need to be stiffer to compensate for the braking power, and stiffer mean the blade wouldn't flex that well, especially when the disc brake tabs limiting the curve of the blade, this is also why the majority of steel disc brake fork are usually straight.
I loved disc brakes, and prefer it over conventional road caliper, but only if the fork is carbon, or a high quality steel one.
Last work for the Oak - custom stem and front rack.
