Wow I keep looking at the Masi Giramando 700c 2018

Maybe I could buy my 1st Touring Bicycle with Disc Brakes?

Feedback is helpful and Appreciated. thanks again

I know that the Disc Brakes mechanical have more Stopping power then the
V-Brakes on my Surly LHT 26 52cm 2008 Touring Bicycle

I am thinking about the Masi Giramando 700c 2018 for my Bicycle Touring Trips in the USA 1299.99+California Tax=$1426.74 and it is cheaper to buy a Touring Bicycle then from Frameset 700X40c 32hole spokes and I would replace with 36hole spokes, 36hole Rims and Sun-Ringle Rhyno lites 700c Rims
and Shimano Deore HB-M525A Front Hub, Shimano HU-M525A Rear Hub 6-bolt
$1299.99 with racks and Maybe I would add flat mtn handlebars and I have the Shimano XT SL-M780 Trigger Shifters 10 speed
in the box in my Storage unit

I am working on the Disc Brakes: Research

my question is which Disc brakes will be easier to work on
when Bicycle Touring?

Avid BB7 Mountain Disc Brakes mechanical vs Hayes MX expert Disc Brake mechanical
Long Pull Brakes and Stay with Avid BB7 Disc Brakes mechanical Short pull or something like long pull

It is not fun trying to look for bike parts 10 speed on-line bike shops with Mountain vs Trekking bike parts

The Masi Giramando 700c 2018
700X40c 32hole spokes and I would replace with 36hole spokes, 36hole Rims
$1299.99 with racks and I would replace the Disc Brakes for Avid BB7 Disc Brakes mechanical

Bottom line is that the Masi Giramando 700c 2018 or 2019 is way cheaper than from Frameset and Bicycle Parts

I just didn't like Drop Handlebars on my Surly LHT 26 Touring Bicycle

The Tubus rear Rack MSRP $149.99 and Tubus front Lowrider Rack MSRP $119.99


When I got my Surly LHT 26 52cm 2008 and I was looking at the Kona Sutra 700c Disc Brakes mechanicaul
but I had 30 days to buy my 1st Touring Bicycle
