I had a Kona Dew.
Kitsune06 has a Kona Dew Plus.
Fabulous commuter bikes! And you don't need to worry about the aluminum as much as steel for corrosion. My LBS calls the Dew "bombproof." And the geometry on them is sweeeeet. Tough sweet bikes.
I rode Kit's a bit on Saturday, and it made me really miss mine. (I traded mine in on a Surly Cross Check. Adore my CC, but there's something about that Kona Dew... )
Another one to look at is the Kona Smoke 2-9. http://www.konaworld.com/08_smoke29.htm (I have an older Smoke with 26 inch wheels.) Comes with fenders already. Steel. I like steel, and am able to keep my bikes inside so I don't have to worry about damp and rust and such. If you worry about the weather and the bike, maybe aluminum is the way to go.
