It's a bike for all seasons and occasions.
Surprised?

Not even a little surprised. I really enjoyed my Kona JTS and as you said, I LOVED the versatility. It was a great bike, but the trade offer was too good to pass up and the more I thought about it, the more I wanted something slightly different (steel, no CF fork, no canti brakes). I'm hoping to get a Lotus Odyssey and put on U brakes (with the annoying cable adapatations), or get a newer touring bike with discs. I want something very similar to what Nikkorod did with his Soma. I was also thinking of a Poprad and changing the fork out for disc brakes because I do prefer sportier geometry.
