Found some super cheap fulcrum rapid red 900 wheels at 27.5" size, so decided to do the disc brake conversion. Add some mechanical Tektro brakes from parts bin, Kenda tires at 50mm width and sick looking yellow bar tape from local bike store, 12->10mm axle conversion and we have some absolute beauty here supported by Mezpils lager from Latvia

I have some shifting problems to solve, also the disc brake conversion kit from bezos doesn't really work all that well but those are all probably solvable issues. Might start into looking to weld a disc brake tabs to the frame :s
