Let's say I get the 8.2, could I upgrade to disc brakes later down the road?
Once I get mine I'll write a review with some pics.

If you get the 8.2 make sure your wheels and fork are Disc-compatible. Also, I think it is better to spend the extra $100 and get the 8.3..you wont regret it. Getting disc brakes later on will be a minimum of $200 so the it is up to you what you think is best. If the $100 is not attainable, try putting the bike on layaway..that way you get exactly the bike you want when you have the $$.
