Why? I ride the hoods and Hydros enable me to brake w/ out going to the drops. You don't need discs on a road bike, but they are a nice upgrade.

Moosejaw is/was selling Continental GP 5000 TL at half off. Technically incompatible with the rims but if you get the 32 mm I'm told you'll be fine. That's what I'm running on my R1 105 57.5cm now....

Large frame specs says 5'10" - 6'2", looks like you are right on the edge of in between. A local shop could do a fitting for a frame size, that could help get you closer.

it depends on where you will ride. A $100 huffy is fine for the green-ways....but if you want to have fun on trails...you need to spend some money.

I ordered the 54cm though I believe I'm closer to 6 than 5'11; 36" inseam, 29" torso, and 27" arm length.
Really like this specific colorway otherwise I would consider it.
