What are your thoughts on the Safari? That has V-brakes and substantially better components. I could get that for $719 at the sale price.
You won't have to adjust after every ride, but adjustments require more fiddling with the mounting bolts. Avid BB7 are great, mechanical disk brakes, that have inner & outer adjustments via turnknobs by hand. You can pick them up for $100 if the supplied Tektro's end up being a pain. For an out-of-pocket of $379, I say go for it and start having some fun.
