Non-disc brake frame adapter?

Strikes me as a horrendous idea. Frames need to be designed around disc brakes. And why put a disc brake on the brake with the least stopping power?

If you switch to a disc enabled fork you could run disc's on both front and rear (very necessary for those of us with OCD, but a limited budget). :)

I agree about the frame needing to be designed around the disc; I guess MTB frames are just more robust for obvious reasons and could handle such a conversion better than a CX frame.

I admit that I've entertained the idea of just running a disc fork and TRP 8.4 rear on my B/CX/mountain bike (aka - TANK), but haven't fully committed to the whole disc thing just yet.  Maybe next season, maybe never, who knows.
