Mr P how much did the disc brake conversion cost with Mr Shand? Mr K has given me a wee plan for a more modern bike.

Ooh aye, go for it, just make sure the frame is big enough for me so that when you realise you still hate discs you can slide it my way

Funnily enough I'm disc converting the topanga. i have a rigid trials fork with disc tabs that fits great and my disc convertor fits the frame which is unusual in a steel frame

 

[clockworkgazz]

wow what's going on discs a plenty :shock:

will this be the tress bike or is it the white lightning?

Cant really ride a disc converted retro at our big retro meet so its between the White Lightnin' or the Hardrock or maybe if I can be bothered the Nishiki. Cantilevers are the brakes of choice for a retro meet :roll:
