thanks for the links

Nice listing (followed a link from another thread). These make me want to sell off my Bad Boy Disc.

thanks - you could change the bar, stem and shifters or use some of these

fit into this list?

sort of - I only listed the complete bikes - there are a lot of frames out there (redline, salsa, kinesis, etc.) that are 700c with disc tabs. If you could add a list of the frame only options to the bottom of this or your post that'd be awesome!

edit: doh! just checked their website and the la Cruz is a complete bike.

What is this "off the peg"?

What is this "off the peg"?

No custom frame and/or equipped as standard, i.e., you don't have to add anything. It comes from off the peg/rack/hanger clothes as opposed to tailored/custom, I think.

There are/were a few bikes that were "disc ready" because the manufacturer chickened out of actually specifying and equipping discbrakes. These're next to useless if you're looking for something you can ride away from the shop immediately.

Brodie have dropped one of the '07 disc brake models for a canti model

bump - need to update the frame only list

note to self - planetX 700c disc frame

rocky mountain sherpa 10 for 2008 no longer have disc brakes. At least the Canadian catalogue doesn't have it anymore.

Thanks - they changed the drop bar, disc option to the solo cxd for 2008.

Just found you a new one.
Opus Sentiero Cross bike
dropouts have Disc + Rack + Fender mounts
Tiagra drive train 9sp and road compact double 50/34 so one could easily swap the RD and cassette to use a MTB 11-34 cassette.

Not sure what is the fattest tyre it can accept. I found it at my LBS, so I'll go back with a caliper along with a test ride, see how it does :)

add: at least 700x45mm with some clearance left over. Probably up to 40mm with fenders will fit just fine. frame was too large for me, sigh.

Kona Dew Drop also meets these qualifications for about $400 less than the Sutra.

oo nice find :D

oo nice find :D

thanks - I received an invite to the Cycle Show trade only day :D - lots of bling and many, many useful products out there.

oh cool. im glad the one you found is available in the UK too! and somewhere where it can be test ridden (evans).

any other gems you saw?

Unfortunately no camera (yes, I'm an eeedjit)

dia-compe make a combination one finger/two finger brake (you use it on one side like a goldfinger and the other like a standard brake lever) as well as a load of other useful stuff
extrawheel bike trailers
"singular cycles" frames
hebie chainglider are even more awesome than I'd previously thought (I didn't realise you don't even have to touch the drive train to install it - no mess, no fuss)
London Cycling Campaign needs volunteers
BHPC.org.uk had a suprisingly big stand with some cool faired bents, a velokraft nocom (turns out they supply some marshals and timing people for battle mountain every year) and I think I saw Mike Burrows at the stand
Black Diamond Sabbath - saw it in the flesh. Very nice!
A company that has a similar setup to the Koga Miyata semi-custom tourer (the cool difference was their bike trailer which mounts onto bosses built into the frame)

Loads of other stuff (most of which you'd see in either eurobike or interbike pictures) including Theo Bos' and Shanaze Reed's olympic bikes on the shamino stand.

http://www.cycleshow.co.uk/ - tickets still available for Fri, Sat, Sun, I think

edit: also had an argument with the marketing geek from brompton about frames/handlebars/rear triangles/forks breaking, merc bikes (yes - we sold them the rights, no - we had a falling out and want our stuff back) and disc brakes. Finally got him to admit that "I'm not technical but if you want to talk to the engineer about breakages and disc brakes then he'll be back in 5min"

:) well clearly that bike was the best find!

I shouldn't have looked; now I want to replace a bike with that one, especially in the brushed finish..

Yeah, much as we all complain about BD marketing they both know their markets and have reasonably priced stuff.

I like the black. Damn, that's tempting.
Can anybody vouch for the quality of the Outlaw model? I'm shopping and it just made my list.

Regarding the Kona Dew Drop: http://www.konaworld.com/09_dewdrop_u.cfm
I know Deore is low level stuff. What about the 2203 components? Are they even lower?
And how about the wheelsets? Just strikes me as a pricey bike for what looks like bottom level stuff.
I really liked the Dew Drop until I noticed this.

Both the Kona and the BD bikes seem to be equivalently priced and equipped, if that helps.

Well, the Outlaw's Tiagra/105 is perfectly fine mid level stuff, better than the Dew Drop's derailleurs/shifters. I don't know enough about other bike components well enough to judge, though.

Thanks for the links.

I've only seen newk bar ends on the kinetics' website - have you tried e-mailing them for old stock?

Not exactly the same as the newk ones but at least they're available to buy.

Here's a new brand of "winter" bikes from Seattle - drop bar, disc brakes, steel frames, carbon fork.

No prices on website but I was told they are about $2600 complete.

From the site:


If we sell you this frame - you better do it justice and put good stuff on it. If I find you with an Alex wheelset, Tektro brakes, and 8sp Ultegra components circa 1994 I will phyisically take the bike back. This frame is too nice for that ****.

Love it. ;) I wonder how much I'd have to beg them for a dynohub & lights as part of the build.

Thanks for the link - very nice bike

Thanks for the link but, while it's nice, the disc brakes aren't standard on the drop bar version (they're only available for the flat bar version as an additional cost upgrade). It doesn't fit the thread criteria.

That is, only bikes with drop bars, disc brake, 700c wheels and that are ready to ride immediately without modification/customisation.

Note to self: Co-motion solo bikes available with dual discs as extra cost upgrade.

2009 Bianchi San Jose has disc mounts on the fork and frame.

I don't think it comes with disc brakes (even as an option) "off the peg" but if you order one from your LBS they should be able to swap the canti's for disc brakes before you pick the bike up. I know the list on the first page is supposed to only be bikes that came from the factory w/ discs but I think that having information about dropped bar bikes with disc mounts may help out some people who don't care to buy a [less expensive] bike and add the discs themselves.

^^^^The pic on their website only shows disc mounts on the frame. Can you confirm you're seen them on the fork?

edit: the Pro model has them. Standard and flat bar just have them on the frame.

The San Jose at my local Bianchi dealer had them on both the fork and the frame. (I want one of these like crazy now)

I stumbled across one of these the other day, thought the price was pretty good, and had lots of mount points for fenders and racks, including lowrider mounts on the forks!

One from GT:
http://www.gtbicycles.com/usa/eng/Bikes/Road/Details/5966-G10PEATO-Peace-Tour

All steel and under $900.

Thanks for the updates and links folks I will try and check/update the list over the next few days.
