Upgraded to discs (among other things)...PICS

I upgraded my Cannondale F400 to disc brakes. I got a great deal on a Mavic/Coda disc wheelset and some Hayes Sole hydraulics. I know the Soles are low-end, but they work great, and they have better feel than my friend's Avid mechanicals.

Here is the before pic:



I also changed to a flat bar. I like it much better than the riser that was on there previously.

Here are some pics of the final product:













I wish I would have upgraded to discs a long time ago!!! I never knew what I was missing!
