Interesting about the purpose of the brakes. I thought the discs had better stopping power. If not, I'm not hung up on them.
I've got a good aero, road bike that I use for the small amount of races that I enter and the faster group rides. The gearing on it just won't work on some of the mountain centuries & such so that's why I really need (as a matter of convenience) at least 2 road bikes.
