[Closed] Carbon Covert

Thanks Brant.

Now I know I'm going to regret asking this, but wtf is Steve Jones and what does he ride?

The Standard Covert is a brilliant ride, I use nothing else, trail, climbs, park, Alps, one bike does me and I've got access to all of them, but....

That Yellow Carbon jobbie they bought over and kindly donated to Monmouth pikey appeal, is something else again, how to describe it? It's just more 'live' gives everything an 'edge' wouldn't have thought you could improve a bike any more but it does.

Steve Jones is the ditor of Dirt - well known for indecipherable articles

What's a "ditor"

Im just hoping I can get my Yellow medium before christmas as Im off to Tenerife after Christmas and will desperately want it built for that trip.

The bike will then become the demo bike at crosstrax to sit alongside the ally one we have. Still got the old demo frame for sale 🙂

Sorry - "editor" - wish I had one for my typing.

From Kyle:

carbon coverts....probably late this year but still TBD. working hard to get them done as fast as we can but it's a long process. 🙁 i want to say November....but the way i normally guess i'm probably off a bit. 😉

You might be lucky...

Ordered from Surf the day the press release was circulated, so still hopeful.
not sure how far down the list I am.

Canyon and Rose prices are very good value for money. But there are pros and cons. I have looked at Strive and Uncle Jimbo. Impressive spec but no demo

You can test Rose bikes - or at least you used to be able to. I spoke to a very helpful guy at Rose UK called Finlay Paton who was going to sort me out with one for a few days, but I ended up buying a different bike before we got round to it. (A Transition, as it happens.) I can probably dig out his email, if anyone is interested.

Andrea Bruno's Carbon Covert... yellow bombers? Jury's out on these

I though they were early 90's Judy's for a second. Ug.

And apart from that, yum.

You sure that's not Ali G's bike?

looks lush in that matte black

they would be extra interesting on the yellow frame! 😯

Sometimes, bikes with no thought to colour scheme look badass.

Is it just me or is there a lot of the Yeti SB-66C in those lines?

Or is it just that there is only so many ways to join up the dots?

Similar lines I guess, not quite the same though. Linkage and stuff is different and the downtube is straight on the 66. Up close the level of detail on the Covert is pretty awesome.

I want those yellow Bombers. BADLY!

They must have built that bike in the dark
