What do you think of Shimano ditching rim brakes in 105 and higher?

heres a top end rim brake bike for balance against all that plastic, heck have two, 531Pro and Columbus Max

these are bikes I own and cost very little to buy, less than 5% of Jeff

The average spend for a complete build is around £11,000.

Oh no. Not that palaver again with those daft carbon seat-tube / post whatsits.

Saddle looks like a yard lizard just having the miss fortune to end up as squashed road-kill.

Has anyone struggled to buy the rim brakes they wanted/needed/lusted/that'lldo for their 20-30 year old bike so far?

As anyone stuggled to buy the rim brakes they wanted/needed/lusted/that'lldo for their 50-70 year old bike so far?

If it had rim brakes, it would look brilliant
