You can but it'll be a 'custom' with the appropriate $ added.

Rim brakes are still offered on the Vamoots RSL.

Over the years, I think the Vamoots has transformed from a “race” bike to an endurance/comfort bike with less aggressive geometry. Disc brakes and it’s wider tires make sense for the type.
