My cyclocross has cantilevers, and I looked into discs but, unfortunately, pretty much any current cyclocross bike (mine included)doesn't have the necessary apertures for discs.
BUT
The ban on disc brakes has now been lifted for cyclocross racing, so next year there should be a broad release of new cyclocross bikes with discs installed.
As much as I love my Masi, I may have to do some upgrading next year. Disc brakes just can't be beat. And a cyclocross bike with disc brakes? That's about the ultimate do-it-all urban assassin.
