Anyone have one?
Pics and thoughts?
Thinking of building one up for a tour and like the look of them!

They got good reviews in a recent copy of Cycling Plus. I'll see if I still have it...

Are you buying a full bike or just frame?

I have one - it's really quite good fun!

I have some Racing Ralph tyres on and it it perfectly good offroad as well as on. I've been off the bike for nearly 3 months and, when I'm finally ready to get back on, it's the first bike I'll try...

No, I've just dug out the review, that's all. It's very favourable: all appropriately designed to make it a very versatile bike, rides very well. And it looks lovely!!

I looked a getting one of these - even went so far as to order one but cancelled as personal stuff meant it wasn't going to get used this year. They look fantastic, I've never seen a bad review. Consensus seems to be that the only downside is the weight, but they're solid and dependable (kind of what you want from a touring bike). Nice review of the 2012 model [url= http://tomsbiketrip.com/kona-sutra-2012-touring-bike-review/ ]here[/url] - 2013 has improved gearing and different brakes.
