Kona Dream Builds: Ville's Sutra LTD

Words by Ville Hartikainen:

"I've been a fan of 90's MTBs and  thought that you can build a modern version by using Sutra LTD frame. Got rid of those 29's and replaced them with neat 650b and some riser bar and so on. Long story short: The bike is awesome!"

An absolutely stunning specimen.

Yowza!

This Atelier Medium chainring is a thing of beauty.

The Magic Components bars are a dream to look at.

Ringy dingy doo!

A well seasoned Brooks saddle

The Widefoot fork mounts making strapping cargo on a breeze, and look awesome.

KONA.
