Direct mount brakes on a steel frame?
Hi everyone,
Just plumbing the collective knowledge base here. I'm looking for a new bike, wanting to get a nice high end steel frame (Reynolds 953, Columbus HSS etc) but also want the added stopping power direct mount brakes can offer.
I've been unable to find any bikes that include both of these so far, anyone know of any that do?
Cheers!

Why not just go down the disc brake route?
I am looking for the same. It would be nice to see someone produce a fork crown for this!
