If you're going to be riding in rain, snow, mud, muck, and the like, then disk brakes would be a good idea.
If not, you don't need them, in my opinion.
I have them on my winter bike, and I like how they hold up in the snow. But then, not too many people ride in the snow (I do, I have studded tires for the ice, but people think I'm a bit looney).
Oh, and I REALLY like Jamis bikes. My commuter is a Coda Comp and it's just fantastic.
OK...after lots of thought, visiting other bike shops, browsing online (at work, shhhhhh....), I decided to go with the Kona Sutra. I just LOVE how the bike felt, and I think I will be happy with it. I have a feeling the Sutra will be "that bike" I will never sell. Note: I even had a dream that I was riding it around town...how neurotic is that!!! It must be love, right?
LBS had to special order my size, so now I'm counting the days until it arrives...:)
Sounds like love to me! Congratulations!
Be sure you post some pics of the new bike so we can all ooooh and ahhhh!:D
Whoo-hoo! Congratulations! I dream about my bikes alot...I'm glad I'm not the only one!
Awesome! Yes, you must post a pic when you get her:D
Whew! I'm glad to know dreaming about bikes is normal. :D
I will definitely post pictures of the Sutra when she comes. Can't wait, can't wait!
Congratulations! She is a beautiful bicycle. I am very happy for you.
