I've been considering the Kona Sutra LTD and using
https://www.bikegeocalc.com to see if I can set it up the way I want with massive bar drop, basically like a road bike with fat tires and shorter reach. Here's what the 52cm looks like for my 6'1" positioning. ETT is 553mm which I maintain is pretty long for a "52cm" frame. I prefer the old school squarish geometry. Even on this medium frame I'd require a negative 25 degree stem to get the bars low enough. That's my primary issue with 29ers. The first rigid 26" mtbs often were set up with lots of drop and long stems and I'm trying to do something similar here. The wheelbase on this 29er is quite a lot shorter than that of my vintage 26" mtb which might be fun if I can tolerate the lack of toe clearance.
