I am going to admit that I wasn't fairly positive how the Kona Rove Ti would prove, after I first began constructing it. Would it not be a 'Gravel Bike', a touring bike, or simply one other cyclocross bike?
The reply has been a satisfying sure, to the entire above. This bike is extremely versatile, and extremely succesful. From the Soiled Reiver, to bikepacking expeditions; it's a bike is constructed for journey.
I have never fairly acquired the set-up dialled to how I need it but, so there's fairly a mixture of parts within the beneath specs. I am going to put up an up to date profile as soon as the set-up is nailed.
