Custom Stainless Road Bike

The good thing about electric is that the early adoption phase has already passed. You're now in the 2g, and by most accounts 1g was pretty much on point. Even without a long wait time it's still goin to be a while before you actually put the group on. So prices may come down more or there may be another option.

This is also one of the reasons I wouldn't go for discs. 1g has only jus really come out and it looks like it's still got a way to go.

However, what's going to change with discs? The hub mountings might change, but that doesn't alter the frame. There seems precious little reason for road frames to depart from the well-established ISO and PM fixings used on mountain bikes, and I can't see hydraulic hoses changing radically, if at all. In that case, while the kit may become better, the way you bolt it to the frame and the hose routing won't change, so if you decide to go discs rather than calipers I can't see any reason not to do so now, provided you're prepared to accept that at some point down the line you may want better and newer kit. And let's face it, there's a pretty strong chance of that happening anyway, isn't there?
