I adore and prize my Allrounder. It's the last and only Riv I own. The only time I lust for another Riv is the occasional Legolas pang. If a Hunqapillar 650b disc came out it would shoot to the top of my bike desire list. Easily. Rocky descents here in Nevada make it difficult to enjoy singletrack without discs anymore.
+1 for a disc Riv.
