I've had my Specialized Vita Sport Disc EQ now for almost a year, and I've put almost 2000 miles on her for everything from grocery shopping to touring. She's one of the best bikes I've ever owned and is just as comfortable riding to the grocery store as she is doing 50 miles in a day on touring rides. I highly reccomend the disc brakes, they are way better than rim brakes, especially when I have 40 lbs of groceries or camping gear. Such a comfortable bike already setup for front and rear racks, fenders and everything else you want to add from there for long trips.
