There are a few nuggets in the Dolan clearance, as ever, but this one stood out for the right buyer (nb the scratch):

If you wanted to take the absolute cheapest route to disc power… Switch out the fork for one with a disc mount and run it mullet with a disc front (ie a good cable disc)/ canti rear setup. If you’re anything like me it’s front for breaking and rear for speed modulation in any event.
Obviously it means a bit more effort to get a matching wheelset (I’d been planning something similar and was thinking carbon rims/dt swiss hubs so disc/rim effectively match) but much less faff then brazing tabs and rebuilding the entire bike. -

It’s currently got the 10sp only freehub that Shimano ran for a few years, so all Shimano 10 sp cassettes (or certainly Ultegra/Dura Ace). Does have a proprietary lockring, which is supplied.
I can investigate whether I can swap out for a 9/10 speed if that’s a dealbreaker (which would then take an 11sp Shimano mtb cassette, I’ve used 11-34s on a few bikes).
