Here's a look at a custom build of the Kona Rove ST for one of our customers.
The Kona Rove ST is a popular gravel road bike that is used for a wide range of purposes, from commuting to work to bike camping.
Today, we would like to introduce a customer's Kona Rove ST that is currently being customized and looks absolutely fantastic.
Initially, the owner started riding the bike as a complete build, but gradually replaced the parts with their dream components, one by one: handlebars, brakes, baskets, and so on.
The main use is commuting to work by bicycle.
The owner chose parts to enjoy their cycling time more with a bike they loved, for both morning and evening commutes.
↑Front basket style.
This is extremely useful for carrying luggage when using a backpack or going shopping.
Even items that can't be transported vertically, like lunchboxes or okonomiyaki, are perfectly fine with a basket!
↑Multi-position handlebars for freedom of ride.
The great thing is that you can grip them anywhere and freely change your riding posture.
They are also compatible with the Rove ST and are useful for relaxed riding.
↑Equipped with a dynamo light for easy night riding.
The characteristic of a dynamo light is that it generates electricity as the front wheel rotates.
Since it lights up when you ride the bike, there's no need to charge it.
Once you experience this convenience, you can't go back.
↑No detail overlooked: Paul Components, Made in USA.
These machined parts are timeless and built to last.
↑Goodyear tires with popular white lettering.
The 650x50c size is popular! They are easy to set up and have minimal air leakage even in a tubeless-ready configuration!
↑Front gear is a single speed.
A single gear offers a simple look and is easy to clean.
The rear has been replaced with a GRX wide sprocket, providing a gear ratio that can handle any terrain.
WolfTooth 110PCD 5-arm chainring (44-46T)
↑A center stand is essential for city use.
Whether parking your bike or shopping at a convenience store, a center stand is incredibly useful.
It's also recommended for bike camping as it provides stability when loading luggage.
It's also convenient for taking photos of your beloved bike when you're out and about.
This Kona Rove ST started as a complete bike, and now almost all its parts have been customized.
We are looking forward to seeing what customizations they will make next!
