the 2008 Poprad is going to be offered in two trims.
The OP's disc version: Full 105 & Discs
And a new white 105/Ultegra mix with Cantis.

^ A beauty, right? The canti-brake version is 1.2 lbs lighter than my bike all else equal. I weighed them at the shop. I decided on the disc version because I am frequently in the mud and rain and the superior braking is worth the weight penalty for me. Still mine is under 22 lbs so I'm not sad.

Like it, but like mentioned before I too seem to prefer the idea of canti's on a cross bike. If you never have any intention of racing it then by all means go disc, but until they make disc legal I just can't see getting one with disc.
Next purchase might actually be a cross bike. I love watching the races I have gone to the last couple of years and they are still un-popular enough that I could come in like, oh, 5-6th. It might be last, but it sounds like I did well.

disc brakes are only illegal in UCI races. bsically, international elite racers are the only ones who need to worry about that rule. most u.s. races are governed by uscf and they allow discs.

BAC -
That's a nice bike! Is that a carbon fork? I can't tell because it's painted.
