My LBS carries Kona and their line is super. Great looking bikes and great price points. The aluminum Rove NRB at $1800 comes with 1x and mechanical brakes. Bike can run 650 or 700c. They come in some sweet colorways too.
Also noticed the comment about the Specialized Sequoia...I worked at an S dealer and sold a few (along with a few AWOL's) and they were tanks. Neat bikes but heavy heavy heavy. I test rode one and it felt like a slug
