.....Last thing - I'm sure there's a reason to go with 160mm cranks - Zack is a good fitter.. just, umm, think if that 5mm really matters that much if it also matters to you to be able to get certain components.
Whichever way you go, enjoy the process - and share the journey... it's never too early to start that thread in the galleries.

Agree with Clean. You're looking at buying a high-end road machine. I would embrace that for all it is and not be concerned so much with disc or tire size. Even the crank size probably has more wiggle room than you might expect. If you want road, buy it and enjoy it, and then on to Plan B if desired....
