    someone has made me an offer on my cove stiffee,its a little worn now but still solid and i wasnt thinking of selling it ,but its got me thinking,

    i know there are some great hardcore hardtails and great trail/xc hardtails but is there a better one to do them both under 28lbs

    i wouldnt mind trying somthing new out but i cant think of one which might be as good all rounder as the stiffee

    I bought an DB Alpine because I was bothered about breaking my Cotic Soul, on the jumpy stuff (BMX tracks etc).

    Only now after a bit of headscratching and tinterweb surfing i think I have found the ideal solution and wish i had done this rather than have the two hardtails.

    'A Curtis Freeride' with a decent set of 140mm forks. (revs or Pikes would be my opinion)

    only just a bit heavier than a Soul but according to Gary at Curtis, they are built strong.

    Only problem is they are £750.

    Replace a stiffee?

    Just wait an hour and there'll be another one along…

    Chumba HX1? Will take up to 160mm, runs best with 140mm, builds typically to around 27lb. Has EBB for singlespeed duties if needs be, and pretty rare, which is nice 😉

    Sold my Stiffee when I bought a Ti 456. Whilst I'm very happy with the trade, I occaisionally miss the outright hooliganism of the Stiffee! Brilliant bike!

    i'm more or less decided that i'm gonna sell my stiffee and replace with a ragley blue pig.

    What exactly is it that you don't like? Head angle too slack, BB too high, no EBB creaking away every time you pedal? 😉

    If you can't put your finger on what's wrong with it then I'd stick with it.

    Got to be a chameleon. Pretty similar to Stiffee, feels a bit better all round than a stiffee, which is massive fun on way down but maybe not as good on way up. Plus chameleon is tough as nails… best hardtail I have ever had in 16+ years of riding, would never part with it!

    Only downside it is short and a little more of a handful on descents, which makes it even more fun IMO

    Ive owned and regrettably sold a Stiffee but now have a chameleon, I agree the Chameleon is tuff as nails, I have grate fun on it….well for about 2 hours then it kills my back…. so in my case it's defo. not an all dayer

    Keep the frame Cu's you will regret selling it
