Hi All,
Long time since I posted, but my broken bones are all mended and I have been mostly mountain biking along canal paths and doing the odd road ride.
Next year I hope to achieve my life's ambition to ride from the north to south coast of France on a proper touring bike with all the kit needed to live out of the panniers. I need to start preparing now, so about to pull the trigger on a touring bike.
I think the Kona Sutra is the right bike (happy to take other suggestions). However, there seems to be some sizing issues as many are saying on forums that the frames are larger than usual.
I have looked at the geometry, which I find a bit confusing. I normally ride a 54cm road bike (Cannondale Supersix Evo and Genesis Equilibrium). It seems I could ride a 52 or a 54cm Sutra, but wondered if anyone has experience and could help me.
I am 174 cm tall with an inseam of about 81 cm.
Thanks!
