No way I'd go disc. Doesn't solve any problem. I'd buy one of these or similar used bikes and be happy forever:

I have a wheelset with fantastic hubs and worn out rims that says different.

Not saying discs are better, but rim wear is an actual problem with rim brakes. It's FAR easier to replace a disc than a rim.
