I’ve been looking for some sort of budget gravel bike for a while, whether that means an old converted hybrid with Surly corner bars or a good deal on something newer. I found this one on Marketplace and of course the listing is just titled “Kona Road Bike” with nothing in the description.
Does anyone know what this is? I checked the Kona catalogues for 2018 and 2016 and couldn’t find it, it looks most similar to the Rove but still not quite. Looks like the Shimano 105 RD is from 2014-2018.
Also, what price would you put on it? The seller has it listed at 500 USD, I’m in Florida for reference.

Kona rove?
Sorry about the image quality, it was just bad in the original listing. Otherwise I would zoom in on the top tube decal and google whatever it says. Looks like it says Kona, then the K symbol, then 2006, then idk what, looks like “BACEEOC”. 2006 sounds way too old for this bike though.
go look at 99 spokes but before you do, delete this post. this isn’t a roadie sub
Pretty sure it’s a Kona Jake the Snake. I think 2015. Gravel bikes didn’t exist then, we just called them cyclocross bikes.

$500 is the highest it’s worth if it’s in great condition.
