Nice bike man! I too am looking for a touring bike. I will do a tour of Spain as a practice run and then a longer tour to Nepal. I am still deciding between the Kona Sutra of the Surly Bridge club. Too many good options these days for both bikes and luggage. Enjoy your bike!

On another note: I also come from road biking background, but I got too lazy to keep riding on my CX bicycle that I turned into a gravel bike. That's why I'm looking at Kona Sutra as my next bike.

How did you match the size of the bike to your height? What size is the bike, how tall are you? How does that compare to road bicycles you ride?

Those new-age gravel touring bikes have larger reaches (long top tubes) with shorter stems but that is unlike most road bikes. How did you calculate your changes and how does the bike fit you during long long rides?

Why Kona don’t put holes underneath the rear brakes for a kickstand. Any bike with racks should have them.

Could you please advise which size frame this is? I really like this bike and I'm considering buying one that is available but it is only size 52 and I'm 5'10" and think it is maybe too small. Thank you for posting.

I sold Kona. One of my favorite bikes. Also, a steel frame lover

3 bar at 40mm, you are a tough guy! I can't ride at higher than 2 bars cause my teeth would fall out! :D 

Have you ever consider going for larger tires?

Nice review, very helpful, thanks.

Hi Diego, nice review! i'm actually want to buy this bike, and i have a question about the size, i'm almost 1, 80 and i think i'm between two sizes like, i believe 54 would be ok for me so maybe you have some information about this due to your expérience of this bike? thank you! and regarding you Camino, have you done tha caminno del norte or camino frances ?

[henk]

Hello Diogo, can you tell what is the size of your bike and how tall are you? Thanks in advance!

[collinifabio]

Super bike!! Can you tell me the size and your height. I'm 1.76 and 82 cm interior legs... Size 54 I think is my size.... But I'm not sure

[ianbajado]

I'm a short person.. my height is 165cm and I'm not sure if this bike has a smaller that fits to me.. But all I say, it's a beautiful bike..

[henrikapitzsch]

Thank you for the review. What rear rack are you using?

[collinifabio]

Super bike! I want buy the same... can you tell me the size and you height. I'm 1, 76 cm and interior legs 82 cm.... I think the right size is 54, what you think

[blahblah]

What size frame did you choose for your size? Did you compromise on any sizes moving from your road bike to this trekking bike?

[Enlil-mjwc]

Hello friend, I am 172cm height (think that is 5 foot 7) and not sure I'd 52 or 50 is my correct size. Just rode the 50 today, which actually felt fine, but I still had the feeling of riding a somewhat small bike, although the reason for that could be, that my previous bikes (54) were too large. I ordered the 52 and can compare them in a week. There is no big difference in reach, but nearly 2cm top tube. The bigger frame could not be made smaller due to the short stem already used. With the 50 I had the feeling my feet were somewhat close to the front tire. Have you got any advice? Would be much appreciated.

Great bike, doing my Research. What's size & your height if possible

[jay_fp]

Nice bike! Which route on the Camino? Norte? Frances? Primitivo?
