Raced mine for a season and in all honesty, this is a race bike that is all-day comfortable. Too bad you can't buy this model any more. The switch to discs now looks a little premature, no?

Nope. Once Campagnolo pull their finger out, there'll be discs in the pro peloton very quickly. Especially for races like PR.

Good to see this sort of bike winning races, though, as they're usually far more suited to the vast majority of riders!

Can't stop 'progress'.. The switch to discs will be like 650b to 26" wheels.
Once several of the big brands switch then they'll all switch to discs.

It's the impossibility of buying the model that makes the switch premature. What a marketing gift. Sep Vanmarke only managed second on his.

Discs will come for sure, but who wouldn't want a classics-winning bike? Not just for Spiortives ๐Ÿ˜‰
