not really sure if theres any other bikers on here..but here goes
i'm replacing my bike that was nicked (http://tackycheese.net/images/misc/bikes/mine/full_shot_front.jpg). My old bike was built by moi and was well on its way to being quite a good bike.. anyway, its gone.
I'm going to the bike show at the NEC on 16th april. I plan to buying similar parts, same frame shape, d521s, xt drive train etc etc.
Anyway.. the main difference is that i want disc brakes. My old frame had disc mounts, but my shifters were integrated and i didnt disc hubs.. so upgrading to disc brakes would be rather pricey.. but seeing as tho im building this one from scracth i can start with them in there.
I vaguhly remember in MBUK them reviewing some rather cheap hydraulic (not touching cable) disc brakes.. does anyone know what they were, or roughly how much they were.. or any suggestions for else where on the bike?
cheers!
