XL Cove Stiffee from 2002
1: must have owned the bike at least 2 years: since 2002:)
2: you must have adjusted bits on it: Its on its 6th set of forks- Judy SL’s (nicked from outside a youth hostel in Sweden), Steel rigids to ride for the next week, Mx pros (bit short), Z1’s (too long), maveric single crown (wiper seal fell off half way round GT black run), coil sprung revalations for the last 3 years.
3rd set of wheels, crossmax xl’s from 2005
4th set of brakes, Magura louise from 2007
5th seat post- currently looking a bit bent
3: ideally you will have spent many months/years finding it:
After denting 3 light weight aluminum frames in a year and half I went for something that would last. 8 years on, still and seems fine
I’ve been down Ft william downhill (very slowly) Toured round Ireland and Sweden and done a cross country race. This is in addition to having fun riding round
