The wheel is a Wheel Master 700c wheel with Zac 19 rim (double wall), stainless 14g spokes, 6 bolt disc hub and a Sunlite Kahn 700 x 50 tire (aka Kenda K935 ).
Added a 203mm disc and new BB5 caliper (I only went with the 203mm disc because it looks cool on the 29" tire). Used a 160 to 203 adapter to mount the caliper. The bikes frame came with both V mount and disc brake mounts for the rear wheel. So it was easy to switch to rear disks, but did have to order new wheel with 6 bolt disc hub. The rear disc is 160mm and the caliper just bolted on.
My advice from personal experience with 203mm disc adapters is Do NOT use the Origin8 Torq-Lite disc brake adapter. It does not clear BB5 and many other calipers where the bowed section is. The chamfered faces do not match the caliper or post mounts on fork. When tightening the bolts, it would rock in and out from the disc.
Instead, use this style mount. Its cheaper, more rigid, puts less stress on the forks post mounts, and never had a problem using them on 3 different bikes. This one works perfectly with the carbon fork. Doesn't have to be this brand adapter. I've used them from different companies, they are all the same.

BTW, I just came across the tag that came on the 700c wheel. It is Wheelmaster part number 66825.

Pulled the trigger on the unknown..
Couldn't find much info on the 2017 KHS Ultrasport 3.0 but it fit so well I went for it. LBS had them on sale ($550) regularly $659. Super happy with the choice, so far. I'll take it out for an extended ride this weekend. Check it out...

A front basket and new handlebars are being delivered today! This was my setup on a refreshing evening ride yesterday.

I realise that top tube bag is effective, but it is also covering up some attractive design elements of your bike's paint scheme.
I always enjoy looking down at my top tube and seeing the graphics on it, as it just reinforces the notion that I have a quality bike that I am riding.

Are those Bontrager-branded seat posts? Are they aluminum or are they carbon? I'm not sure I've seen them brand aluminum seat posts before.
