Today’s Readers’ Rides coincides with John’s review of the Kona Sutra ULTD. This build was done for the owner, Jason, of Back Alley Bikes in Carrboro, North Carolina. This build was documented by Jared Harber, so you know it’s going to be good! Let’s jump right in!

This ULTD injects a bit of color into the build with an Industry Nine stem and ONEup oil slick pedals.

An industry nine rear hub and a shutter precision front dynamo hub were laced to the Stans rims.

Who can overlook the front yard sign fender mounted to the downtube? Or the Salsa frame bag?

This ULTD custom build has all the bells and whistles, ok maybe just a Spurcycle bell, but you get the gist. If you’re looking for a similar build and live in the Research Triangle area of North Carolina, holler at Back Alley Bikes!
