In my observation (relatively new here) reading various threads over last couple of years, it is apparent that (a) most in Riv community prefer rim brakes (b) Increasing number of folks who either want or are open to disc brakes. There are a few bikes out there that offer both (Surly Troll, for instance). Design changes required to accommodate discs might make the ride less Riv-like, perhaps. For a model like GBW, it should be an acceptable compromise for the benefits it offers (expands the market a little bit, more choices for wider rims, folks who ride technical tracks/hilly areas/rainy places etc benefit from better braking... while having the rim brake options there for folks who like to keep it simple).
