I’m looking for a bike for everything but MTB and came across the new Kona Rove Nrb. Has anybody had a go on one, seen one or otherwise have an opinion? Can’t find much about them online.

Might pop in to the Cycle Store in Congleton at the weekend and see if they have one to stare at. Base model comes in green which (as we all know) is almost as good as orange.

I’ve got a Rove LTD, it’s a brilliant bike.

I think you recommended it in my ‘What gravel / adventure’ thread. The Ltd is lovely looking, but slightly beyond my budget unfortunately. Typically, I keep seeing the 2017 on sale, but never in my size.

I really like the NRB. I just can’t get past the fact it’s not a lot of bike for £1600. Tiagra and Mechanical discs seem pretty much the norm for bikes costing £1000 or so.

That’s the one thing that’s putting me off. It looks nice, but something like the Whyte Friston or NS Rag+ (if you can find one) seem to offer so much more for the money
