Disc brakes are dead

My bad, it's just derailleur and shifter;

Still great value as you don't need the brakes.

LOL.^

Can someone please put this thread out of our misery?

Shut it down, @hippy.

It's forum gold.

@hippy would love this bike, he is tired of disc brakes too

I'm only tired because I rode all day yesterday with them on... :)

You've lost your damn mind mate.

What am i seeing here.....

I thought we were friends @amey

Youve changed.

All I'm seeing is big lumps of metal getting welded onto a frame which is already a big lump of metal. It's going to weight a metric tonne when built up.

How else are you going to justify traveling with it?
The more it weighs the better baggage handlers will treat it.

Would love to see this "test" performed with the Paul brakes.

I'm obvs guy on left

Budget groupset
Large clearance brakes
Versatile steel frame
Packs down for travel
Weighs a ton
Costs ~£1000

Short wheelbase looks 'on trend' too!

Or the Bike Friday Super Pro, can be build around 8kg;

wtf this build is actually real, can't tell what is fake news

It even complies with the limp dick-trend!
