However, that is coming from a person that buys a bike with long term intentions. Since 1979 I have purchased 8 bikes and I still have 4 of them. The other 4 were given to good friends or someone I knew in need of a bike but no funds to purchase one. I only regret giving away a 1978 Miyata road bike that I gave to a co-worker for his way to get to work. He sold the bike 2 weeks later for $50. He used the $50 dollars as trade money for a crack *****. AAAAARRGH!
Think I should have been a little more descriptive about the disc brakes... Yes I think they would help for resale...But the main reason I chose a disc break bike is just because they look awesome... Can't forget ascetics.. I want a sweet looking ride.. Any ways I'd like to thank everyone who chimed in.. Guess I'll mull it over for a day or 2.. Go back up to my LBS and see if they have any idea when the 2020's come out.. I'f I do pull the trigger, I'll post image below..
