Great idea....kinda think this thread has been, given the subject matter, sorta successful, and would be a pity if it got bogged down on something peripheral....

The reason why it doesn't hold much water is easy: perhaps it's the case, but there's is absolutely no guarantee that the currently adopted standards for bike brakes (140/160 rotors and their thickness, flat mounts, hubs widths, thru axles etc) are going to remain totally unchanged through the years and the frameset you buy today will be compatible with all future innovations with disc brakes. If any other development area for bikes is any indication, everything will be different in 5 years time.
sagan's old venge vias rim brake bike with deep wheels was 7.6kg.. Aero bike with no weight weenieisms. Although I little bigger then TM01R you posted, not enough not make a difference.
