Almost like you prompted Focus! http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news...ax-disc-worlds-lightest-disc-road-bike-175971

Funny thing is, @StuAff just posted the same link earlier on my FB feed.

Heh, I was thinking that based on some of the stuff you've mentioned it may not be quite what you're after, another different disc brake mount etc...
Sounds alright though!

It is a beauty (except there's a bit too much red for me) and the Dura Ace version is not too pricey either.
I have been looking at their Cayo 3.0 Disc, which is a beauty too, but not Di2.

Quite like the bit of red, but both look aside from the blingy wheels.

Yeah, blingy wheels would be de-blinged

You're out of luck.. it's a 56..

@potsy

Buy Ians bike & simply adapt some deep sole dutch clogs with cleats to fit.

Or cut a bit off the forks....


It'll be reet.

I hear that the disc tarmac has to have specific wheels due how short the stays are and keeping the correct chain line.

Its one thing hat puts me off, but then again, the roval wheels that are compatible are supposed to be very good.

Yep that's true about the short stays and wheels for the Spesh. Reading the reviews about the Focus bikes they have gone for longer chain stays.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I reckon this will be a hoot to ride....

GT Grade carbon Ultegra

I WANT ONE (the 105 will do).

 

[ianrauk]

Had a look at one in my LBS, they do look better in the flesh then the pics, but still fugly....

 

[PaulSecteur]

Ultimate "Do it all" bike...?

Specialized diverge carbon.

Well, I'm no oil painting either but I'm bl00dy effective

Yeah, I suppose it's a novel thing you looking at a clean bike isn't it. And come to think of it, you've only ever seen it from behind..

Alas, I have studied that hateful blue saddle at length. You really should take a couple of bottles of Tippex to it before you stick the advert on Gumtree.
