Jimbo4x4 said:A word to the wise; do not be fooled by flashy looking disc brakes with cable calipers.
Cable calipers are next to useless so either get hydraulic calipers if you can afford it or v-brakes if you can't. Cable driven disc setup's might be priced inbetween but seriously, you might as well have a wooden stick to drag on the floor. They're worse than the old centre-pull's.
I only mention this as I've seen both Carrera and GT (possibly other big names too?) are outfitting some bikes with this technology

Yes i second that Jim. I was actually sucked in and bought a bike that had these discs and cable/caliper and they are really crap.
