Wow, that looks great! A rep from Kona told me it was impossible via email. I suppose that is the official response. I had a feeling something could be done. Thank you so much for posting this. I'm still on the hunt for…
Thank you everyone for the suggestions. I've really gone over it many times and I don't think this is going to work for me. I just want a more upright position, and this geometry makes it difficult. On my Surly DT (what…
I have contacted Carbonda and have received a response concerning the cfr696. I'm considering building one of these up this spring/summer. In going over the geometry, I see that my size (58) has a lower stack than I…

The ULTD had a completey different frameset than the LTD for 2021. The LTD and Sutra touring shared the exact same frameset for 2021. So that is why is years past the LTD could fit 2x and 3x cranksets. Now the 2022 LTD…
I'm thinking of picking up a new Kona LTD (same as the ULTD now) frameset, but I don't want to use a 1x drivetrain yet. Can anyone tell me if you can fit a front derailleur on the seat tube? I would guess you would need…
I managed to get through to Trek and got some info. The ID is 22.5mm. The "model" is Duster Elite, whatever that means. One of the techs at Trek told me only the highest end hubs and other components are made in…
I have a line on a used Trek 920. I can't find any specs on the Bontrager wheels that came stock on the bike. I'm hoping someone that owns or used to own the bike can give me some info. 1. Internal width 2. Weight -…
Thanks, Volsung. I'm really serious about this model, but it will depend on a few things, money being one of them this winter. Covid-19 could thwart my plans in the near future. But enough of that. I should have been…
I'm thinking of getting one of these, but can find no info on the max fender size. Can anyone tell me about the largest width fender you've squeezed onto one of these? Thanks!

After a lot of thinking and internet research and talking with my cycling friends, I've come down to choosing between the Trek 920 and the Kona Sutra. I live in central Maine. 90% of my biking is day rides that are…

I've been over the Hunt site and see that they sell whatever you need to fit your axles. I'm sorry for my ignorance, but I've never had anything but QR wheels. It seems they have adapters for their hubs and that all…
This frameset is one of my top choices for my next bike. Does anyone here know what the max fender size is for 700c and 650b wheels? I'm hoping to get fenders over 650b x 47. Maybe a little too hopeful for a 68mm BB…
Thanks for all the info, everyone. It looks like I might have to figure something else out or forget about a cutthroat. I don't mind 10 speed at all, but I'll have to check out cassettes to see if I can get the gearing…
I'm seriously considering a cutthroat for my next bike. It would be a bit more road and touring oriented than the usual cutthroat purposes. I finally learned enough about modern BB shells to understand the basics (I've…
