Thread resurrection. Scud was right.
Kona Sutra LTD is a great bike, a little on the heavy side, but much better off-road than I was expecting.
I don't get on with 1x11 - not enough range when you're 50 miles in to a muddy and hilly off-road ride. Plus I've had endless trouble with the Sram shifter, but I'm putting that down to bad luck.
I've been unable to shake the idea that what I really want is a Rohloff Drove, so after the gears on the Kona stopped working yet again, I came home and ordered one. Thank you, Barclaycard.
Not sure yet what I'll do with the Kona, probably sell it I guess. I should really just persevere and get the gears sorted once and for all, but I have a 'one-last-time dream bike' thing going on now.
I always wanted a drop-bars MTB, ideally it would have been a Roberts Roughstuff but you can't get them any more.
Pipedreams new ALICE is very much a want in my camp at the moment, struggling to find a reason not too. I don't need one, just a want!
Or a Diverge.
Add the Specialized Awol to your list,
I would have thought the sequoia would be a better comprimise for the OP than either of these. Not ridden one but they look nice.
