I have a 1997 Kona Hannanna which I plan on rebuilding as a winter project.
Just thinking whether to get some disc tabs brazed on or keep it proper retro.

Retrofashionista's what do you reckon?????????

V brakes... Cheaper, lighter, sooner. And enjoy the retro braking.

I've done a bunch like that - if it's brazed on then it can always come off again later if you change your mind 😉
