I don't care about the front brakes. Disrupter seems a little more durable than Rythm (Rythm is lighter though, by .25 lb. ). Im talking about 2006 models here, so cassete hub and 30/11 gearing (OH YEAH!).

Why is K2 out?

I've looked at Specialized Fuse IV... I think I'm gonna get off, it's so hot. But $600 is more than Disrupter or Jane. What do you think?
