Yeah, the Peregrine is a cool idea, and very beautiful... a similar Riv version would be even *beautifuler...*
The world may not be quite ready for hydraulic disc brakes on drop bar bikes, but that needs to change... Quick stopping ability on a bike is far too important. Shimano makes a fine hydraulic brifter for upright bars, but they need to take this idea a step further and adapt it to drop bars. I run only hydraulic discs on my mountain bikes (strictly for offroad use), but I've also built up 2 Salsa Fargos primarily for road use with hydraulic brifters on (upright) H-bars. The only way to describe them would be 'high performance bliss'... they're simply the best, and they instill confidence with their quick stopping power in all conditions. I love my cantis and v-brakes, but in truth they're a compromise... they're adequate, but they'll never come close to the performance of hydraulic discs. I don't love my Bomba and S1 any less because they have V-brakes, but if Riv offered a disc version, I'd seriously consider trading up for that.
