Built the new bike up yesterday and first outing today.
2011 Cove Hummer and 2011 Fox Talas. Love it
Still waiting for a 160 4 bolt rotor due to mix up so had to use an old rear wheel.

Very nice. Brakes look like they're set at quite an extreme angle, though?
Very nice.
What size is the frame and what height are you?
Thinking of the same frame so interested in your experiences. What else do you/have you ridden? Did younanage to get a test ride anywhere?
Cheers

Yes angle of brakes and slight seatpost adjustment was needed on first ride.
not bad for a complete build myself though! Brakes and gears worked a treat.

Very nice, now youve finished bike building you can rake your lawn.
I had a Soda before this which cracked. This frame is a bit shorter but I have quite a long stem. Weight is a bit more over the front wheel than the Soda which I liked. Seemed to change direction quicker especially in tight singletrack.
Bike feels great and very chuckable. I was quite confident on it considering it was my first ride.
I'm 6"1 and the frame is a 19"

Too much frost to rake the lawn, it'll damage the grass.
😉
ha ha still lots of leaves to drop before I do that in sunny London!
and for gods sake man, put the garden furniture away, do you not know the snow is coming to kill us all !!!
Nice BTW ( if a little on the large side ( prefer small looking bikes) )
Very nice.
RRD - If you need a 17" or 18" frame, my LBS (Quest Adventure) currently has 1 of each on offer: http://www.questadventure.co.uk/index.asp?display=specials&specialcat=MTB%20Frames&specialId=321
Try it with a 70mm stem, and it'll feel even better!
