Does anyone have any thoughts about the new Kona Sutra. Looks spiffing in green. It looks like the back rack is more solid as well. Mechanical disc breaks seem rather easy to repair as well. Steel frame should be robust as well. Do you have any comments?

I am curretly on a cheap trekking bike (Decathlon Triban Trail 7 blush), which I have adapted a little (unscrewed everything that was not absolutely necessary). I know, Decathlon is not great, but it gives an opportunity to start off with a low budget, and I am not concerned about getting it beat up on a plane. Kona Sutra should definitly be a step up.

Thanks for info.
