As above
Anyone have one that could give some feedback? Would be used as a commuter/day bike/all rounder!
Cheers!

No mudguards/pannier mounts seems to be most people's main concern.

I posted something on that thread. I like mine. XL Race Guards will, I think, fit it. Fast, light, comfortable, a bit noisy sometimes.

From memory the DD was more expensive than the XLS when first introduced. They appear to have had a recent price swap/reversal with the XLS now being the more expensive model.

I love mine. Does commute, light off-road, and (last year) LEJOG.

Clip on rear mudguard when weather is bad, otherwise just a green Ass Saver to stick with the colour scheme.

Yeah, the prices go up and down relative to each other in a sort of frenzy of randomness like a red setter bouncing through the heather. The general consensus is that the XLS is sharper and more direct and a bit less comfortable than the DD, so the Disco's probably a better call for all-round use anyway.

Asa above, I really like mine.

You can get a DD frame direct from China (from one of the reputable manufacturers) for - certainly worth looking into if you're happy to build it up.
