dream bike musings: disc or rim brakes

if you were to drop big dollar on a custom carbon dream bike, would you go disc or rim brakes?

i'm a retro-grouch and my gut reaction is: rim brakes.

the dream bike is for my heart and "better modulation" doesnt really make my heart pitter-patter and disc brakes kinda hurt my eyes.

rim brake bikes just look better and the braking is fine for a flat-lander like me. hell, i'd probably opt for fully external cables, too!

what does the mob think and why?
