Has pretty decent parts, I’d offer 1250-1300, aggressively willing to go pick it up, and see where it goes from there

I feel like a 3 year old bike with “many many miles” on it for 88% of retail price just isn’t a good deal, regardless of any upgrades made to it. Just my opinion

Considering it has AXS upgrade, this is not a bad deal. Just make sure it doesn’t have any issues.

I wouldn’t say it’s a good deal, But not a bad deal either. If you can afford it, and really want it, go for it! $1,500 means something different to everyone depending on how much money they have in their bank account. If you love the color and it fits your needs, that money will be long forgotten about as you’re going on adventures with your new bike.

A little pricey, but Kona bikes are great

Wouldn’t call it a good deal but definitely a fair deal. If you’ve got the coin go for it. Never heard anything bad about the rove.

Seems like a cool bike I have a very similar build and really like it. Agree with above to offer 1200-1300 and See what Happens

I have the base model Kona Rove from that year in dragonfly green. I love it. It’s been a great bike. I got it on sale since my LBS was closing and they had it on sale ahead of officially closing forever (RIP). I paid $1300 for it then. I wouldn’t go over that price. Honestly, I’d say 1100 is better. Also, bring a chain checker tool and see how well it was maintained. if it needs a $200 tune up then it’s definitely not worth it.

Like others have said it’s not a good deal, but it’s not the worst either. If you specifically want an AXS e-shifter then it makes a little more sense, but if you don’t care about that you’re not much better off than just buying a new unused rove DL

Nice bike. The wireless upgrade makes it more expensive than it would otherwise be. Is this the right size for you?
