    My 1998 Jamis Dragon project

I also figured out how to adapt it...

    New bike - would you choose disc or rim brake ?

    I prefer rim brakes over disc brakes especially because it is simpler to maintain rim brakes over disc brakes. DuraAce 7400, 7700, 7800, 7900, 9000 and 9100 provide phenomenal stopping power which is as good as disc brakes.
