Does Kona and Cove have some sort of agreement? Umm, yes? Look into their
history and you might find they have. At any rate, if you're prototyping a new
bike are you going to use the closest thing you can find off the shelf or
start buying hand-made prototypes that might not work exactly right like 10
times? There's about three companies in Taiwan that make most bike frames so
what's the big deal if it looks like something else? Cove Bikes isn't
Specialized but Chaz built his bike shop from a rat-hole into an empire and he
was North Shore before there was a "North Shore", I think they know what
they're doing.
