I think the technical difficulties were overcome years ago.

Or a communications problem. I, like most guys who rework
steel frames, almost always pass on 'add discs' requests for
a host of reasons. That's not at all the same as 'build me a
new frame designed for disc brake'.

I talked to two frame builders in Phoenix and one here and they all build steel bikes and they all said the same thing without any leading by me. The major problem they seemed to be worried about was the wheels being pulled out of the drop-outs. They were so insistent about this that I didn't file off the lawyers lips on my Redline.

Do you suppose we're going to have to listen to Jay tell us that the steel bike he had 40 years ago before they have good rear derailleurs used horizontal dropouts?
