Any recommendations for the above?

Annoyingly Shimano don't make the 140s in 6 bolt so I'm having to look elsewhere. The Avid HSX seem quite nice as an alternative but I'm a bit wary of all these lightweight ones (Tune, Ashima, KCNC etc).

How about Hope Floating Rotor?

(I can sell you one since I barely used it). PM me if you are interested.

Best regards,

What is wrong with Ashima, KCNC and other ebay ones?

I have used Ashima Ai2 on prolonged MTB Pisgah area descents recently without any issues.

I was debating Hope with them being a local company to me but think they'll look a bit 'busy' for the build (sleek steel roadie).

The Ashimas look lovely but I'm just paranoid about them warping etc, this being my first road disc bike and all. Am I being overly paranoid?

It's a shame that Shimano do not make a 6-bolt equivalent of the RT-99 rotor, as that rotor is a fantastic one.

I recommend either the Hope floating rotor, the Avid HS1 (or HSX) (if you can find them...I think they have been discontinued) -- or the Sram Centerline.

I find the Avid and Sram rotors to be very low noise. The 2-part rotors can wind up weighing just a bit more than the 1-piece counterparts in the smaller sizes.

For me, the Formula rotors are great (light) but a bit noisy.

I ended up going with some HSX, seeing them on the Vanilla Leave it on the road builds swayed me.

Scratch that, just had an email saying they're not in stock and discontinued, annoying.

Might give the Ai2 a whirl.
