Test rode a V85. Was very impressed. It had all the features I wanted (internal cable routing, disc brakes, 105 components, gravel/cyclocross geo). In the end, I found a screaming deal on a 2015 Kona Jake the Snake, and I liked the bright green of the JTS a little more than the straight black of the v85 (which I also love, don’t get me wrong).
Does yours have the mini-brakes on the tops? I was pretty convinced I wanted those, but got talked out of it.
Very sexy bike. Enjoy!

Oh jake the snake looks super nice. Yes it does have the mini breaks. I truly enjoy the bike. I went and for some specialized cyclocross tires for it. 38c I believe. I love it but now it’s super slow. 🙁 not sure but I might go back to a less grippy tire.
