Oh for sure you should keep it! It’s great having more than one bike, especially when they fill a different niche. I think you’ll enjoy adding a road bike, but there are times when your Schwinn will...

was this on your new bike? If so, what did you buy?

Apologies if you already posted about that, I may have missed it what with all the bickering regarding disc vs rim brakes.

Exactly - arguing about the merits of hydraulic disc brakes is irrelevant to this discussion. Given the bikes the OP is considering, rim brakes are cheaper, lighter and as effective. End of story.

I've got DA 9000 on my Scott, and those are incredible brakes imo. At least in dry conditions they easily have the stopping power of the BB7 disks on my AWOL and the TRP Spyres on my Diverge. Frankly...

Are you kidding? I deliberately ride in the rain just about any time it's raining out! I ride almost every day year round and see plenty of rain, some of it anticipated and some not.

I really like disc brakes, but given the bikes the OP is considering and the riding conditions he's outlined I'd definitely go for rim brakes and save some money (and weight). It's a no-brainer to me.

I have disc brakes on my touring and commuting/winter bikes but I'm very happy with rim brakes on my road bike (which I don't take out in nasty weather).

If you are not riding in inclement...
