Bitten by the bike bug again and currently considering two options: a bike with suspension (Pinarello Dogma K8-S is top of mind in this regard) or a bike with disc brake (Colnago C60). Which one should i go for given such profile: (1) 40+ years of age; (2) weekend rider aspiring to join gran fondo rides; (3) rides mostly in relatively safe routes, good amount of uphill climbs and not much rough terrain; and (4) a bike enthusiast who loves bikes and owns a couple of other bikes? Care to share your two cents worth?

+1 for the Colnago C60. Comfortable and Disc. Best of both Worlds.

I have both. My road bike with disc brakes also fits 650B wheels with 42mm tires. Cush and stopping power. I'm building up a second set of wheels that will be 700C.
