SL road frame -new disc version

The road SL frame has been a rim brake aluminum/scandium mix since I came up with the model about 5 years ago. A customer requested one for disc brakes and here it is- the first of its kind.
I had to build it a little differently as the disc brake forces on the stays and the down tube can be considerable. I used some beefier seat stays to help keep the rear triangle from flexing and I used a taller section down tube. The frame is still pretty light at 3 lb. 2 oz.
