Doing commuting all-year round with my Kona Rove ST. Studded tires on the winter, now almost naked summer setup with Receptors.
I also have the chromoly Rove but in Silver. Love this bike. It is a real workhorse. I changed out the handlebars for Surly TruckStops which gives a slightly more upright riding position. Perfect for riding in town and among traffic. I run WTB Horizon's or Ventures when it is wet.
