Default Re: New to cycling

Pretty much concur exactly with Dave. There was no option to go with disc brakes on my bike. It was a take it as it is purchase. I literally saved so much money on the bike that disc brakes weren't an issue. Plus with the Dura Ace brakes, they are so refined and responsive as they are that there isnt much difference in terms of its tactile feel on the brake. Sure the brake distances will be better with discs (I have them on my Kona hybrid) but I will avoid wet days on the Cervelo and use the Focus on hilly runs.
