Ha! I only figured it out after buying Kona Rove NRB, which is not even an entry-level bike, but it turned out to have disk brakes and extremely fragile paintwork.

It served me well, but I am still somewhat cautious when descending since then.

I’m glad to see another Rove owner mention the paint. I swear wiping sweat off the top tube scrapes through the paint.

Mechanical disk brakes, I mean.
