I've got the Kona Sutra 2021, before they turned to tapered headtube and general uglyness. It fits 2.2 tyres easily and steel forks with loads of mounts, its pretty similar to the Faran. The only weirdness I realised after buying is the 73mm BB, so took a while to sort a 2x setup, and Im using a derailleur hanger extender that makes the back wheel annoying to get out, its a bit of a tank but otherwise perfect for me. Just did a 215 mile east devon way and black down hills bike packing route on it.

What are the current Grav / touring frames that take 2.1 tyres? Rack / guard mounts essential.
Feel like Fairlight have been leading the way for a long while now. New Croix Der Fer missed the brief too.
Been on some chunky trips recently and my partners Arkose doesn't cut it anymore.
