Hi Alex, thanks! Those brakes are Shimano mechanical disc calipers. There is a pump on the seat stay and the tire are 42mm wide. See this bike for one with wider (47mm) tires: http://www.chapmancycles.com/2017/08/davids-all-road-bike/

I completely agree with Richard about the craftsmanship on this amazing bike. What brakes were used for Kim’s bike? Mechanical or Hydraulic? Is that a air pump on pegs I saw in one of the pictures? I have to admit that I fallen head over heels for this bike. What size tires are those? And could you fit a larger volume tire on a custom build similar to that one for me? In a beautiful metallic copper color w/matching fenders.

Richard, Thanks for the kind words! That IRD crankset has a 44-36-24 chainrings and a 12-32 in the rear. Please come up and introduce yourself at the show!
