Kona Sutra

[gussington]

Now got mine finally from the shop! Went for the sample one they had in and got a bit of a discount.

Only slightly strange thing that I have noticed so far, is that even though it has 3 attachment points you can only attach one drinks bottle! The one on the vertical tube is obstructed by the front mech, the one underneath has very little clearance because of the wheel - so the only place is the lower sloping tube. Does seem a tiny bit of an oversite for a bike that is clearly all about touring, especially considering that I have no trouble travelling with 2 bottles on my hybrid!

I can't get a bottle in the cage under the downtube on my Ultra Galaxy because there's not enough clearance with the front wheel. The only thing I can get in there is a jar of peanut butter. It's been quite a talking point!

I have a 54cm sutra and use spacers to fit the bottle cage on the seat tube... If you check out different cages you should get one to fit...

Got another one on with some washers - plus the pump bracket on the bottom! Now ordered a Arkel Tailrider Trunk bag - and will fionally be able to venture out for long days cycling without a bloody pannier! Really looking forward to upping the mileage on this lovely bike.

Pleased to hear good things about these, very keen on getting one when they come into stock at Evans (Ride2Work). They're better value through Ashcycles.com at the moment though.

Just had my back order cancelled (With Triton Cycles) saying that the importer has lost the rights to Kona in the uk. Great!
I'll be calling Evans in the morning to see what they say...

Wow, what a beast, can't wait to get out on it on saturday
