The Kona looks nice. I am 48 and recently bought the Trek 7.2 after riding a mountain bike for years. I now have a rack and panniers so I can commute with work clothes, lunch etc. Next week I will be slapping some fenders on it too. They are cheap and it might be something to consider for your new bike as you might like the Kona so much that you won't want to ride the other on rainy days. LOL

Enjoy
