Surely the bigger the disc the LESS stress on the frame & fork? But big discs would mean more stress on the wheel.

Yes and the front wheel may need to be dished like the rear. But as DJ pointed out, it's been done for cross bikes, so the 'formula' could be applied to road bikes and tweaked slightly

I'm quite aware

Whilst living in London, I found that daily commuting could be just as hard wearing for wheel rims as off roading. You also don't have to clean all that horrible black shit off your rims after every wet ride when using discs.

Road bike frames, or forks at least, would have to be redesigned to cope with the stress from disc brakes, no?

You're obviously right about consumer demand and there are benefits from hydraulics too.
I'm saving up for a fucking hover bike though, biding my time...

SRAM are currently researching hydraulics.
The reason I don't think disc brakes will end up on road bikes anytime soon is because they won't become race legal and manufacturers would neglect to work on something that can't be fitted to pro race bikes, which undoubtedly influence people's choice in bikes/componentry.
I could be completely wrong I don't work on the development team at Shimano

I know. But I'm saying that hydraulically powered standard brake calipers will come along first, disc brakes ending up on road bikes seems quite unlikely

I think disc brakes will be another couple of years

Nah hydraulic brakes

Reminds me of Woflgang Tillman's 'Freischwimmer'

I tried to replicate this using ink in water but didn't look quite as mesmerising

Watched Chronicle tonight. One of the view films filmed in the 'pov handheld camera' style that I actually enjoyed and thought the concept was very good, go watch it

how meny locks there is?

ftfy

How many locks are there
If you're gonna be a cunt
Do it right

Nothing wrong with being bald. I will have lost most of my hair before I hit 25 if family history is anything to go on

you would have thought they'd have implemented a 'period correct ' stem set up for an 'anniversary' piece

It is period correct, that period being now

Lovely purple Bob Jackson frame brought into Sigma Sport on Saturday. On here? You're bald ish...

And stunning cinematography. Especially enjoyed the soundtrack

Enjoyed Take Shelter, thought Michael Shannon was very good. One criticism is its slightly slow in parts but definitely an interesting film would recommend it

I love this bike Jadias. I think you're going the right way with drops although if you got compact road drops/ ergo bars you could go on your longer rides with drops?
Get rid of the spok and build up some lovely track wheels and this will look the tits
My two cents
