Why must you?
Got the Z75 with disc in the end. I showed the missus the GT and she nearly spat her wine out over the iPad so that decided it
She's the one who's got to look at it when we go biking so...
Good decision and the criteria used was as good as any
Out of interest, where did you find the Disc in stock ? Wiggle have them, but not in a size that will fit myself or the Mrs.Seems to be some confusion though over whether you order the the 75 / 85. I see you edited to help clear that up

Because I believe in free speech and the right to express an opinion. (However meaningless.)

56, but it's highly likely we'll pickup the normal Z75 as at £600 it's just too good a deal.

Vickster beat me to it!
£600 is a stonking bargain if discs are not needed.

Have always had gt,s so liked the grade, was concerned with disc brake forces up front for intended off road so almost bought one as evans had listed the105 model with the 15mm front axle, I went to ride one in maccesfield & was impressed, was also impressed with a norco that did have that stiffer 15mm front axle, but no trp/hyd brakes 
decisions decisions, bought a bargain full carbon merida 5000. model £700 cheaper from germany during that greek crisis

Love to hear your thoughts on the bike in next few days Goobs. Hopefully you have better weather this week in Gods Own Country than we do in London.

It's officially my birthday present so other than a delivery check I'm not gonna get a run out on it till the start of October. It's going to be a frustrating month !
I had a quick look on Wiggles listing where someone asked the same. Apparently the old caliper mount holes are filled in on the frame so they recommend Crud RoadRacer guards or SKS Race blades.
Hi Guys,
I bought a Z75 disc from JE James a couple of weeks ago now and the bike is really impressive, I've bought it for winter riding and I'm really pleased with my choice.
Shifting the 11 speed 105 is so smooth, the only change I've made is swapping the wheels to some Kinesis Crosslights from my old winter bike.
Tyre cleance is ok, I've photographed the front clearance with 28mm Vittoria Zaffiro tyres.

Thanks for the thoughts Addman. The first photo clearly shows you have a lot of room there to fit some mudguards. Especially impressive with those 28's on. My new Rose Disc (see the other thread here for photos) has much less clearance (and that's with 25's - albit they balloon out to nearer 27).
Glad to hear you like it. I've ridden the 10-speed F75 from a year / two back and was very impressed with it. Currently still very tempted to pickup the non-disc Z75 for a multitude of jobs. Bike for the Mrs, Winter runabout and to use on the trainer. These sale prices are just too tempting.
