don't know of any specific sites but you could check out the cyclocross forum and reviews at roadbikereview.com or cyclocrossworld.com. I got Jake the Snake last year and am probably going to look at something with disc brakes this year as i found canti's to be pretty archaic. Redline seems to have a pretty descent one and a few peple at work have the Brodie Romax.

You might be able to get a disk fork for it online. I'm looking at getting one this year, though that is more for the fact I ride in winter snow with it.

Nice. Looks like you got a good price on it too. Did you find a good deal on road discs?

The fork's the first thing I've got so far. Shouldn't be an issue to get the brakes. Just deciding on a frame. Maybe a Major Jake or bite the bullet and get something like a Seven or IF. Also trying to decide on wheels, which depends on the frame beacuse of the different spacing but most likely a set of Mavic Speedcity's or the FSA'S.
