I'm picking up a new bike this year and I narrowed it down to:
Surly Straggler 700c

Kona Rove DL 650b

Both are the same price from my dealer. I was really leaning Surly (haven't actually rode it) but it turns out it's on back order until end of August. The Kona is in stock.
Mostly gravel roads and trails plus commute.
What do you choose and why?
