Akasha: Cannondale Topstone alloy

I bought Akasha only 18 months after Saša, in the midst of the pandemic-induced bike-part shortage, for two main reasons: to have a backup for when Saša was incapacitated, and to kit her out as a touring bike, back when I was still planning to go on longer trips. I mean, I still am, once my cats are gone/better and/or my back is fixed. Anyway, nowadays she's mostly my shopping bike when I don't want electrified Karl, or otherwise for longer day tours where I need to take more gear (clothes layers etc) or am planning to do more road than off.
