Kona make good rugged bikes that can stand up to a lot.
Disc brakes are definitely something I would want, but none of the bikes that I look at seem to have them. A quick google search shows that disc brakes aren't allowed in cyclocross racing, but would the bikes have the rough-in bits on the forks to upgrade to disc brakes?
