    …..My Mrs asked me how it was any different from my Bfe. So I thought I would check out a few stats and they seem to look very similar. Am I missing something? (still looking for an excuse to buy a nice yellow Sov 😆 )

    You are weak, rubber duck.

    You should have smiled sweetly and told your darling wife that it is similar but requires slightly different forks, hence the bos devilles in the garage

    some might say that in the BFe you have a copy of an Evil Sov, so it would be a good investment to purchase the original of its ilk

    Stay out of this Stace. 😉

    It would be at the expense of some of my other frames……. Honest

    I wonder how many CRC have sold since they went down to 299! There’s been about a million sov threads since then.

    Also, does anyone else think its a bit weird they’re having a ‘clearance’ of 2012 frames in Feb 2012?

    Silverfish only have Revolt frame info-nothing about the Sov or Faction in the Evil Products section………

    …..My Mrs asked me how it was any different from my Bfe.

    It’s a bit heavier, and Evil don’t seem to think it’s strong enough for a 160mm fork. Is that sufficient difference? 😉

    Except its not the original is it.

    I had an original 853 Sov and it was great. I have a new BFe and that is great too. I don’t however know which is more fun to ride. I do know that the BFe is lighter and has a more forgiving rear end, it also climbs better.

    Thats my BFe!

    Picture theif 😉

    To be honest if I had seen the Sov at £299 before I got the BFe I would really have struggled to choose.

    Just ordered a Sov. in yellow a couple of hours ago. I was originally looking at a BFe, or even an NS Surge, but had to get the Sov. I have terrible memories of a friend’s fugly, yellow, bike in the mid-nineties, with tons of blue anodized parts, but something about the idea of the yellow frame with pink decals is calling to me 😕

    The BFe in the pic is mine. He must have found it in a google search.
