| Road bike with discs and fender mounts?
Even though I'm happy with the performance of my Ultegra calipers with
salmon Kool Stops, I've been thinking about buying a rain bike with discs.
What are my choices? I've seen the Trek Portland, but that's more than I
want to spend on a bike which will essentially be a beater. There are
cyclocross bikes that fit the bill, but people have told me cyclocross bikes
ride differently than road bikes because of the high bottom bracket. So, are
there any bikes with traditional road bike geometry which have discs and
fender mounts? I don't really care about frame material. Aluminum would
seem to be the best choice for a rain bike, but I like steel, too. Of
course, Ti would be the hot ticket but I know that would get pricy.
