'93 prestige with a Tioga disk drive?

[paulwakinshaw]

Hi all

Just thinking, what do you think, should I get a disk drive for my prestige build? Yea or no?

Hmmmmm, not sure really Paul. Think it would look good but tend to prefer them on North american frames :? Up to you I guess.

I always measure these kind of dilemmas against the following

It's 1993 (in this example)
I've just got my hands on my nice new bike (Orange Prestige)
Whilst at the bike shop, they offer me a specific component (Tioga Disk Drive) for a price I could afford
Would I fit it?

If the answer would be Yes back then, it's right. If I'd have not bothered then it's wrong.

That you're asking atall says you're in doubt.

Disk drives aren't for doubters.

John H's rationale is excellent and the same one I use but never was able to put into words.

Do it is the Disc Drive new or in good condition and also at a good price if its not a looker on your orange you could aways sell the wheel on here

No no it's not gonna get a disk. Mind made up. I agree they only really suit certain bikes. Normal hoops for the prestige. Thanks all

I think you have made the right choice. Out of interest, can you let me know if the disc drive us available? I'll drop you a pm.
