Can anyone add to my shortlist of potential replacements?
Currently an elderly Kona, and I'm looking for something with disk mounts to bring it into the 00's. I'd also like swapouts to run ss in winter - this is my 'utility bike' and gets commuted on, raced when the SC is left in the shop on repair (oops), pulls a trailer fully laden with kids, gets the shopping etc etc etc.
I'm running a Bonty Switchblade up front which I think is equivalent to a 100mm suss fork.

So far I've got:

Decade Kinesis Versa (fave so far)
Singular Humingbird (lovely, but a bit pricy - I'd be worried about it)
Pipedream Sirius (looks good but I've heard they are a relatively heavy??)
On One Scandal (bit more racy but might cut it - the horiz drop out model looks like it'll run gears too but only comes in pink... no thanks)

Any other ideas or opinions on the above?

Orange P7? Longer travel than you're planning and frame only is a bit pricey IMO though...
