Had a customer that wanted to keep there old 27" wheeled bike they love but they had "the need" for rear disc brake.Image
Add a 700c rear disc wheel and we are good to go.

Wait.. what? Just a disc brake in the rear, where they have less than 30% of the stopping power?

Did they also request a carbon fork with a quill stem and keep a sun tour front brake?

Isnt it true that most people cycling never use the front brake? In that case it makes sense, the owner never uses a front brake and skids around with a locked up back wheel, like a champ!

I like the subtle little touches... like the Cervelo sticker on the headtube. :D

It would be a cool gravel bike if it had some gears.

Nice tight chain, perhaps the owner wear skin-tight jeans?

It might be a single speed and not fixed. I kind of like it. Probably fun on gravel & light mud.
