Thinking about adding a Kona Sutra to the stable, anyone got some feed on this bike. All reviews seem to be good.
Or is there anything else I should look at for commuting and long distance cycle touring options?

I've got the 2009 Sutra.
great bike - I commute on it, I've been touring on it,I've taken all racks and mudguards off and ridden it off-road. Quite simply one of the best bikes I've ever owned.
it'snot the lightest and your not going to break any land speed records ,but for comfort and durability its spot on

Thanks for that, sounds just what expected. I'm 5'8" and thinking of getting a 56cm model, would this be about right fir me?

56 will be a bit big/ long for your height. I'd suggest something a 52 or perhaps 54.

i've got a 56cm dew drop, think it's the same geometry as the sutra, i'm 5'11 and the fit is spot on.
