Give me that yellow jersey

IM conversation with HD, in which he recommends a bike for me:

HD:

http://www.specialized.com/bc/SBCBkModel.jsp?spid=39271&eid=121

something like this
Me:

I like it!

No disc brakes on that one

Good price though
HD:
yes road style comfort bikes don't have discs
Me:

WHAAA?!

As a rule?
HD:
as a weight saving step and lack of requirement
Me:
Does Lance go without disc brakes? I think not!
HD:
Lance who?
Me:
There is only one Lance, my friend.
HD:
yes. Lance goes without discs. and believe me you will not be at a disadvantage when racing him without discs
Me:
lol
Touche.
