I am not 100% set on the discs, what it really boils down to is durability. Is there a bike that I can ride in the mountains and the city for 15 years and still have a perfectly straight frame? If I could find one equally as durable for a comparable price I'd consider it, going to go check out the bikes they put together at the co-op tomorrow to see if they have any good deals. As I see it there's 3 options;
i)new fork, discs, repaint
ii)new fork (that uses v-brake)
iii)new bike
I think option 1 is possible for under $500 with average parts
