The industrial, mean looks of the brake hardware and rotors go really well with he skinny stays of the back end.

Thanks for the positive comments, it's been a challenge finding the parts and getting them to fit / work together.

Re:

It actually looks so "Right" with the old school Hope disc brakes

Turn the banjo bolt to face the fork leg and run the cable up the inside or rear of the fork leg, use a cable tie or one of those self adhesive cable guides to secure the hose.

Hang on... are those RC-30's? where's the brake bosses??

They are rc30-T's. Naturally boss less for trials.

Not only are the brake bosses missing but the dropouts are offset to provide additional clearance for the discs, and fractionally wider crown to reposition the legs so the axel spacing remains 100mm
