For Smooth graved gravel, maybe.

Nice looking build, you got the knack.

I don't know, I've done the last 4 years of D2R2 (including the 180k), Battenkill, Hell of Hunterdon, and other various events and none of them on bikes with a 100cm wheelbase. All tighter geo with tires ranging from 23mm to 42mm tires. I prefer it.

What size bike/person I guess, context. Mine comes from the context of the Clyde I am.

I was all geared up that my next road bike was going to be a Titanium with discs but realised that discs don't mean that much to (yes I have them on my mtb) me and I have a lovely Campagnolo Record 10spd groupset with down tube shifters that would love a new frame to hang on...

I was thinking of another Tommasini but my dream bike is a DuNucci...

Same here, in northern Santa Barbara County. Although they're finally starting to pave some of the worst bits...

Does anyone make any aesthetically-Campag-worthy cable disc calipers? A downtube shifting disc brake set up could be.... Interesting.

I almost used them with a Campagnolo 10 downtube setup but ended up with a rim brake frame instead.

Edit:
Missed the cable comment but if using downtubes, I still vote hylex rs.

Love em or hate em but the JuinTechs saved my a$$ the other day on a switchback'd downhill road that averaged 13% for 2/3 mile.
