Can we start speccing out equipment for Jay the way we do for Jorge?

I'll start with this thing. Jay tell us again what frame size you ride?

Habanero, Dude.

The "classic" frame is super-dangerous. It' doesn't have discs, and it has a CF fork. Disc mounts can be added, but "All of the above options take 12-16 weeks to build." And it would still have CF forks!

He has options for other forks.

This appears to be my only option for a fast, safe bike: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/14...g?v=1478720465 According to Grant, it comes with disc brakes:

I'm ordering today and waiting the 6-9 months because my safety is important.

LOL, "Rim-Disc" brakes. There is some logic in that epitaph, but he
never mentions the issue of rim overheating. For riders that don't ride
in mountainous terrain this is obviously not an issue. And for a light
road bike that will never be used for loaded touring rim brakes are
probably just fine. Too bad the Arai drum brake was discontinued, that
would be perfect for your new ride.
