I just got this as a slightly-used frame and drivetrain and built it up from there...it's in excellent condition and it's a real ripper. Great for gravel, trail and it's a bikepacking dream. Add a set of 29er wheels for it and take it touring. Bikes like the Sutra are very close to a quiver killer n=1 kind of bike, excellent for most of the riding most cyclists will ever do, especially if you like to mix road, gravel and singletrack together in the same ride. Steel frame and all the brazeons you could imagine needing, including two on each fork. Tons of tire clearance. Designed for off road drop bars like the Salsa Woodchippers. Powerful hyrdo brakes and a 2x11 drivetrain.
Size 52cm or medium (I am 5' 10"). Here is the build list:
Shimano Ultegra 2x11 drivetrain
Shimano R785 Brakes and Shifters
Shimano XT front derailleur
Shimano Ultegra rear derailleur
FSA SL-k Carbon Seat Post
FSA SL-k 38-28T 175mm Crankset (carbon cranks arms)
WTB i35 ASYM rims on Novatec hubs (15x100 front, 12x142 rear)
Nobby Nic 27.5x2.6" tires (will take true 2.8s at least) set up tubeless
Salsa Woodchipper Bars
SDG Circuit Seat
The tubeless setup is very good. There are three very small scratches in the frame finish on the seat tube which has been covered up by the official touch-up paint (the bottle of paint is included).
No pedals included. $1775 shipped in the US.

Stock weight is 25 pounds. I have not weighed this one but it gains and loses some weight from the stock. The ultegra shifters are a little more stout, the 2x front adds, but the carbon seatpost and crank arms take some away. 25 to 27 is my educated guess. If I have a scale at work I can try to weight it,

That's a nice looking bike. If I hadn't just bought Fargo I'd be on it.

I just switched out the 36/24 chainrings for 34/22, which make the bike a much more capable trail/climber. I will include the 36/24 in the sale along with with two nice King Cage stainless water bottle cages.

Any chance you have a set of 29" wheels for it?
