Disc brakes are dead

there goes my EC1 membership :(

Amey will never get in to EC1 with that.

I'm unsubscribing form this thread. Because it's fucking dumb.

:__ _ (

At least wait till I install Sora and post pics ..

Can we go back to all that space in your shed and how you should buy all the equipment to build your own frame?

no

Make sora great again

When was Sora ever great?

Also:

Pump peg
plus
Insta-slam
plus
sora
=?

profit!

Fuck's sake Amey, you're supposed to be a Buyer®

Why not just bite the bullet and buy a Boredman then braze on some hinges from B&Q?

Your Rapha jacket or specs will have cost more than the groupset.

Keep sora shifters but buy nice looking vintage DA chainset

u mad? I have some tubular tyres that cost more than the groupset .. but thats not the point of this bike. I have few others including a full DA9000 and Red22.

Its a fun travel bike that I don't want to be too precious about.

Thats what I struggled with the idea of 7800 .. there was never a compact version of the crankset. I'd have had to resort to FC-R700 to go compact.

I dont like the idea of third party crankset with Shimano. Their front shift performance is optimal with their own cranksets. Otherwise a clear answer is White Ind.

Why don't you commission Paul to make you a custom groupset to match the brakes?

You've been reading too much marketing blurb.

Front shifting is not crucial. And I was thinking older. 7400 or 7700

FC-R700

Me has new in box. You like donation for this project?

Aesthetically yeah but no compact :(

And now that I've gone with black groupset, finishing kit, headset just a silver crankset might look odd .. still havent decided on paint though. Fallback is pearl white. I was also thinking grey to white fade ..

If I have to resort to third party then White Ind VBC for sure.

my favourite so far

Well, you don't need a light road bike to be quick.

But shifting performance will still be Sora, not DA.

Unless you meant it looking better with the DA chainset

I meant: who cares how good shifting is on the front it is not a race bike
