Haven't seen many pictures or reviews of the Kona Zone - not sure how many are out there seeing as Kona isn't well know for it's road bikes.
I got this a few weeks back to use over the remainder of winter - but once the mudguards are off I think it'll be my go to bike this summer too.
Aluminium frame, carbon forks and 105 5700 Groupset (bar Tektro brakes and FSA Chainset). Came stock with 28mm continental tires too - will rpobably change back to 25mm when the time comes but the extra comfort of the 28's is growing on me and I haven't really found any downsides to the increased width.
Here are some pics (it's a 56cm frame), all standard as it was supplied with the addition of some SKS Bluemels Mudguards, Moon Cresecent Lights and saddle bag.
**EDIT** the saddle looks a bit nose down on the pictures but it feels fine - not sure if the slightly dipped nose gives the illusion of it being a bit off....

I'm very familiar with Kona for their MTB's. I didn't know they even had a road range! That's a nice looking bike, what does it weigh in at? I seem to remember the MTB's being rather porky!0

Didn't weigh it when I got it but as it is at the moment, with mudguards, pedals, bottle cages and lights it is 9.5kg. So I think the weight would be around 8.5kg. Not too bad really and could easily shed weight with a few choice upgrades.
Forgot to add that I bought off of wiggle for £680 down from £1299. Still some left though they are £20 or so more at the moment.0 -

I have had one eye on one of these. They look quality with a fully featured frame and fork, and as 211dave112 confirms are decently light. Nice bike for the money0

Just weighed it minus mudguards and lights and it came in at about 8.9 kg so slightly above my estimate but still good for the money.0
