Today I built the Kona Dew Plus. I really liked the Marin Bolinas Ridge, but I always wanted something a bit more modern, mainly with disc brakes and tubeless tyres.
I parted out the Marin and ment to build this with the SRAM 1x9 set I had on the Marin Bolinas Ridge, but apparently I've managed to loose a part from the rear derailleur. Luckily I found a Shimano Sora derailleur, D-A barend shifter and a Velo-Orange thumbie adapter.
At least based on my short test rides, this setup seems to work pretty well. It's nice to have a bike with mudguards and a rack again.
