Seen a bargainous second hand one, basic 2*8 with mech discs but all upgradeable.
Anyone know anything about them, is a 2020 version btw
Mines a 2015 but best 600 quid Ive spent on a bike.
Mines been a daily commuter , ridden across western isles and up western Canada and down the Rockies and my winter bike.
Fits 40c tires under pdw mudguards
That's what i want to hear, sold a 10 year old spesh rd bike yesterday for £400! 2020 Kona Rove here for £250!!
Works 650b wheels with 2.0 tyres fit it per chance?
Plan is to put 10 speed shifters on and a 9 speed road mech with an 11-36 cassette and 1x up front
Buy it! Edit. Do what you can to check it’s not nicked first.
It's very good out the box tbh
Just ride is as is and change what's needed.
Bodging the wrong size wheels in rarely ends up being better than the original bike

How is that going to work? I know the reverse works with SRAM mtb shifter and Shimano mtb mech. Or are you using a widget?
Great bikes, this one has been a lot further off road than it should, such as the stairs behind it.
These do look like a bargain just now - do they weigh the same as the titanic?

Even then it will need to be used 10 speed shifters
The current Tiagra are a different pull ratio
But the current Tiagra rear mech is fine on 36 teeth. It's rated to 34 teeth

Stock ..... Pretty much but not excessive given the cost.
Good strong frame that can take being fully loaded (4 panniers tent on top rack and 6/8litres of water at a time as we passed through the Bulkley and telkwa valleys with the thermometer mid 40s and low 50s in the direct sun
Lighter than my wife's croix de tour which really is the weight of the Titanic and dead/lifeless with it
Mines sitting at 32lbs now but over time I've changed to a deore touring triple chainset , carbon post and brooks saddle , rebuilt the existing (heavy but solid) rims into a hope rear hub and sp dynohub with full BM Dyno Hub and usb charge point , Tubus stainless steel racks f+r and pdw full metal fenders.
I have a Rove LTD. Came in to see if there was any love for them but the Rove looks very different.
Bought it and fitted my 650b xc wheels with ignitors on, not much room but bloomin Eck it's a fun bike!
Swapped the saddle for a charge spoon and put some nuke proof pedals on. Proper beast of a bike. Reckon it will be the most used

^ Monster. 🧛🏻♂️ Monster.
More economical than a Fugio by about, ££££?...I wonder what the real world difference is in raggability, fun and miles and stuff?
That looks great! Nice buy. Impressive those tyres fit
Looks great. Will keep an eye out for it (and you) on Sheffield’s finest gravel biking trails!
I live in Totley @bikerevivesheffield so tend to ride Houndkirk Road, Burbage Green Drive, Barbrook, Curbar Baslow edges, and a bit further afield down to around Linacre reservoirs.
Look me up on Strava (link to example route here) if you want some more ideas.
