Somewhat foolishly, I don't have a Plan B as far as buying a touring bike - I'm 'all in' on the Sutra. So when I keep hearing about Sutras showing up for people, I'm real happy for y'all but also a little antsy that I haven't heard anything about the one that's allegedly being sent for me. I put in my request for one months ago, and my LBS sells a TON of Kona.
Doing my first tour in August and really don't want to do 326 miles on the 1x setup I currently rock....
