I went to buy it but it has to ship to a dealer shop and you have to pick up there. A bit of a drive for me but I am assuming it will also come with a cost to assemble from the shop. I am trying to verify that now and will update if I have any info by end of day or if they allow the pick up without charging.

Looks exactly like my kona dew… which is a wonderful casual bike

The whole “gravel/drop bar” craze has made these bikes go truly nuder the radar. Plenty of mounts, generous tire clearances, affordable parts, and a bombproof build. What is not to like. Maybe QR over TA is the only issue i believe, but personally m fine with that tbh.

I own this bike and love it! I would say it is a good bike for a jack of all trades but master at none bike (it’s not exceptionally lightweight, it’s not the very best for mountain biking, it’s not quite as agile as other city oriented bikes). But I love it because I can do a bit of everything with it. I don’t hesitate to ride this bike anywhere or on any terrain.
The only thing I find oddly noticeable is a number of times people thought I was a police officer on this bike. 😂

Cheap bikes come with cheap components (like mechanical disk brake) and often old standards (like quick release), that’s normal, otherwise it wouldn’t be possible to price it at this point. If you can live with that, give it a go, if not, you need to spend more, it’s as simple as that
