Seemingly another cut and run by a dollar-seeking buyer post-post-covid slump. Bought high as sales boomed, selling low now?

Looks like this could be the end of Kona Sutra which is a nicely built optioned up Touring bike. I was very interested in the Sutra before I found the Vivente Bikes....hope they can find a buyer and keep producing a good or better product.

I remember seeing an ad on bikeexchange for a Jake the Snake cyclocross bike.
It was early in my cycling days, and I remember the interesting name and beautiful green paint job.
The specs seemed underwhelming at the time, so I looked at other bikes, but thought I might get one in the future.
Apparently that's very very unlikely now.
