One thing you will need to keep an eye on is the rear brake cable, especially if you ride in the rain. The end by the brakes faces upward, so water could flow down into the cable housing and cause the cable and/or housing to rust and seize or break the cable. While positioning the rear disk brake between the seatstay and chainstay is probably a good idea from a strength-of-mount-point perspective, I suspect framebuilders had hydraulic rather than cable-actuated disk brakes in mind when they thought it up. You might try slowly dripping some oil into the cable housing (keep it away from the brake pads and disk!) so there is a pool of oil inside the cable housing at the low point.

Thanks. Will keep an eye out….

I like the black fenders with the orange.

That looks like a pretty excellent choice and love the color scheme.

Sounds like some good advice from bentbike to keep tabs on any rust forming on brake cable, but really wouldn’t worry about something like that unless you are constantly riding through heavy rains. The positioning of the caliper is perfect for clearing racks and fenders (it is definitely what I would choose if I were replacing my commuter frame). And someday you will upgrade to hydraulic disc brakes and then there won’t be any concern over cables rusting.

Thanks Hozn. i like it.

after only some ado (not much) i made a choice. Got a 2016 Kona Rove AL. Ive ridden it a few days, got a new saddle, and it seems to be working out.

thanks for all the input.

Hi all. Newbie here . I’ll be driving there and doing the 24 (or is it 26 mi) course so i can see what all the excitement is about. Im from down that way but have never biked there. Looking forward to it. I have one car + one bike. Happy to have someone attach a (i.e.your) bike rack to my old Honda Civic if you want and take another person and bike. Just tell me where to rendezvous.
