Kona Sutra LTD or Bomtrack Audax (or something else)
Posted: Sat Dec 01, 2018 5:15 pm
So its only been a few weeks on the bike for me, but im enjoying it and riding a fair bit.
I promised myself if i was going ot get into it, id allow myself to spend up and get a decent bike. So ive been doing a a lot of research.
Wants - steel, hydro disc brakes, minimum 105 or rival level groupset, drop bars, wide strong tires.
After a few test rides, it seems to be down to the Sutra LTD or Bombtrack Audax. Though I still havent been able to get on a Jamis Renegade Exploit because noone has them in stock.
Im a short stout guy 140kg 174cm so needs to be weight bearing - going to add racks and mudguards, because primary use will be work commute, but i want it to be fun on non-work days.
I really was hoping to buy ready to ride over the xmas break, that is likely off the table if i go with the bombtrack as none available in the medium til mid jan. Unsure of the Sutra LTD, will find out in the next few days.
Anything else i should be looking at? Pros/cons bombtack vs kona?
