definitely with you on rim breaks... I thought they mention in one place they can put discs on these. I'm a large person and live in Seattle so I've been rocking discs on a cyclocross style bike since 2010 back when everyone was anti discs, they're far superior glad people finally got sane about them.

Yeah, they can do it, but they'll be a little heavier than those relatively light rim brake steel bikes linked earlier. (The rotors/calipers, hydraulic, fluid, stronger fork leg required all just add mass.)

I'm also in Seattle! Disc brakes all day.
