Many folk have asked recently for a pic of my Casseroll, so here it is. I was hoping to wait till I get the disc mount welded on to the original fork, but this will do for now.

This bad-boy takes me on my 4.75 mile commute daily, as well as shopping trips and winter training runs (no rim wear!) and light tours. What a steed!

Nice. I really like mine - must take a photo of it some day. Never noticed it had a disk mount - did you add that?

Bontrager one...the bolts seized in it and it were a right PITA, now replaced with stainless.

Only £25 though.

Nice.
It you need discs salsa have the vaya - which is a great do everything bike. I have used our demo as a mountainbike, road, tourer, etc.
Salsa seem to have this area covered with three levels of gnarliness

Casseroll low gnarly
Vaya. Medium gnarly
Fargo. Full on gnarly.

But they can all do much the same job. Looking forward to our new demo Fargo.
