Just a generic 25,4 rise bar, around 58cm large, found in north america (19 $cad).

I've bought 3 because I was unable to find some in France..

wald?
zoom?
dimension?
pyramid?

My go to is as close to a 45º angle (from the top) that I can find.
All of the above usually have something that works for me.

nice job! I would strip the stem and seatpost from paint and anodising as well, probably looks cool with the frame!

Newbie question regarding disc brakes and rotors.

I'm currently running 160mm disc on my all city, and after a couple of rides I found that my disc was rubbing against the pads, (front and back) I thought it might be an alignment thing and tried to centre the calliper however this didn't really solve anything.

I was wondering how could have this happen and what are the signs when I need to replace the disc and if so is there any difference in upgrading something like hope disc rotors?

you need a new bike obvs

No more space in the flat

Thats a good looking frame

is there any difference in upgrading something like hope disc rotors

When has that ever stopped you before?

True say.

Hope or Trp rotors?

I was wondering how could have this happen

The two most obvious things are excessive disc runout and insufficient pad retraction.

Park Tool have a decent article on measuring and correcting runout. It's less likely with floating rotors.

Insufficient pad retraction is usually a feature of hydraulic brakes which have been rode hard and put up wet, causing the pistons to stick in the cylinders due to contamination or corrosion. If it's not terminal it can be fixed, sometimes just by external cleaning around the piston seals, otherwise by rebuilding with new seals and possibly pistons. If the cylinder bores are damaged, it's terminal and you need new calipers.

Rotors could need trueing
