I can't believe that the medium GBW hasn't sold yet. Count me among the old men shouting at clouds that it should have disc brakes. I get why it doesn't, but the one and only one benefit of rim brakes on a fat-tired, off-road focused bike is far outweighed by the benefits of discs.
I wish there was a bike with the functional elements that Riv espouses, such as high bars, long chainstays, slack STA, and that trademark Rivendell ride quality, without the aesthetic elements like swoopy tubing, lugs with hearts, threaded steerers, etc. And disc brakes, of course. The Jones bikes are close, and I hope to own one someday soon, but it's not going to ride like a Rivendell.
