This year it's the PR6. Next year they'll probably port the discs down to the PR5 and PR3 lines, then you'll have the discs at all the pricepoints.

If all they did was bolt disc brakes on the existing frame, then to me that's plain lazy and somewhat cynical, given it's a TT frame, not an endurance road bike.

The fork and the chainstays are different in several ways to accommodate the disc brakes. Did you want them to change the down tube? the seat post? the integrated stem? Why?

Obviously none of the above, which I think you knew anyway. No, I'm talking about shaping the fork, like on the new Scott Foil, for example.
