There are two things about the specs that made me think it would. Under "fork" it says "full CroMO unicrown, low rider and fender bosses with Disc" and under "hub" it says "FT: Alloy QR, Disc ready." The LBS guy said that meant the front wheel could take a disk brake, but he could be wrong. What does that mean?
