What are the differences between the two types of Avid BB7 brakes? One is road, other is standard. I guess one for ergo levers, one for flat bar levers?
Say... That's a nice bike..

    So on my tourer, if I replaced the fork and got front road Avid BB7 that's all I would need?

    Or could a blacksmith add lugs for disc brakes? (it's a steel frame and forks)

    yes to both.

    but I would not chose a Blacksmith.

    A baker perhaps?

    hmmm if I didn't replace the brakes recently would consider this (R650's)
