What do you think of Shimano ditching rim brakes in 105 and higher?

[legrandefromage]

heres a top end rim brake bike for balance against all that plastic, heck have two, 531Pro and Columbus Max

these are bikes I own and cost very little to buy, less than 5% of Jeff

The average spend for a complete build is around £11,000.

I fear the splinters!

This makes me weep with joy.

Jeff - Saffron Frameworks | Bicycle Frame Builder London

Jeff's build uses our mixed materials format with shaped HSS tubes from Columbus for the main tubes, XCR chainstays and head tube and carbon seat tube.

Oh no. Not that palaver again with those daft carbon seat-tube / post whatsits.

Saddle looks like a yard lizard just having the miss fortune to end up as squashed road-kill.

Has anyone struggled to buy the rim brakes they wanted/needed/lusted/that'lldo for their 20-30 year old bike so far?

As anyone stuggled to buy the rim brakes they wanted/needed/lusted/that'lldo for their 50-70 year old bike so far?

If it had rim brakes, it would look brilliant
