Pinnacle Arkose, actually an excellent bike espeically the latest 2017 model that have seen some revision.
Got flat mount brakes, thru axles on the front, carbon fork, alu frame, geometry is fairly relaxed but not heavy, massive clearance, etc.
Even the Arkose 2 with 10 speed Tiagra and full hydraulic is a pretty great deal for the money.

Ha! I could never afford anything touched by dammit. Ill stick to OTP.
I think the straggler is high on my list now. I still like that Kona.
