load of unsubstantiated opinion in this thread it seems.
I
havehad a Kona Sutra. It's not a touring bike, it's an expedition bike. it is utterly bomb-proof. And I really really appreciated disc brakes fully loaded. I've got a fast audax bike now (a enigma etape), a totally different bike in many ways but I really miss the braking modulation that even cable disks give you.and the kona has braze-ons for rim brakes too, so if you're really going across the world you can set it up with secondary (fail-over) brakes really easily. the only thing I'd change if I was taking it on a serious international tour would be to give it internal gears.
