Bill was a referral from Bruce Berkeley (@cycle_dr1 on Strava – check him out). He needed an extra special set of wheels for his new Colnago C60 Disc machine. We went for some custom paint on the rims to match the tricolor detail on his seat tube and a mix of matt and gloss finishes for extra wow factor. I wish Bill many happy miles on his new dream machine.
I have to say I am a big fan of disc brakes on road bikes. I tried them out for the first time on a customers bike in the Dolomites in 2014 and the stopping power was unbelievable. My next bike will have discs for sure.
