First generation aero bike, anyone?
Disc brakes on bicycles are nearly 40 years old, now. Shimano and Formula were selling them in catalogs starting in 1971.** If you only wait 10-15 years, you should have adopted them back in the mid 1980s.

**These very early consumer versions were in a lockstep competition with the Campagnolo Delta brakes to see which could stop a bike worse.
