Hi Pezzers,

It is a 2009 last of the Litespeed versions. I am 5ft 11″ and the 18″ is fine.

The new version is Lynskey made as are the ones for £1199 on Ebay.

As far as chainsuck is concerned – Shimano rings with a 50mm chain line is the best option.

Hi, I have a 2009 18″ full bike on Ebay at the minute. I would be willing to sell just the frame only though which came from Moonglu. I have the receipt available. The bike has not been ridden as I have been riding my 2002 Rocky mountain Blizzard the last few years.

Anymore details, just get in touch

Rob

Hummer soft tail is in the 2002 Cove brochure. Will try and put a pic up of the bike.

Not sure if this is a 14″ or 16″ but may be worth a look

Kona Kapu, Kona Haole, Perogetti, Holdsworth Special Edition to name a few.

Some of these may not be light though

John,

Out of interest, How much £££ for the cambelt change and did you have the water pump done at the same time?

Looking for £6000ono

Currently using new old stock Kona Equibrilum and Propulsion tyres circa 1991/92 from a store in Canada. No problems so far although the first folded version did explode but that was my fault for inflating it too much too soon.

Nuke,

I had the same problem an recently changed from the AA to ehome who will cover individual components/parts at home even over £10k as long as they are listed individually. This applies to high end bikes also.

Only problem is, they cover at home only-not away from home.

I have a NOS 56cm 2008 Kona Kapu I could sell you for £1200 if your interested. There is a pic in the previous thread of show me your road bikes.

100-120mm for the 05 frame.

I have some new old stock 2005 Marzocchi MX Pro 105 ETA with set up and instructions if you want to stick with them.

I contacted Cove regards the chainsuck issue on the Litespeed version and they recommended using Shimano chainrings especially the middle ring as Race Face rings with the extra ramps caused this.

Is this correct or can you recommend a chainset to prevent damaging the frame?

17,18 and 19"s were available in the previous and new versions.

Lynskey now design and construct the 2010 frames.

See review previously in What Mountain Bike on Bike Radar

I would have thought an 18" would be the right size

Pjay,

Have you considered a Rocky Mountain Blizzard?

Depends what size you are looking for but Merlin still have 18"s in stock for less than £400.

I have a brand new immaculate 18" frame built up for sale so could offer you the frame plus some components for less than £400.

Let me know if you are interested.

Had 2, the first was a 98 2.0 SAAB 9-5 SE LPT currently got the 06 1.9 diesel estate, very good economy and safety NCAP 5 but not as well built as the latter.

As far as advice, I would buy privatley with FSH and get the car for the best money you can as they depreciate like nothing else.

Things to check on the old models include the sump issue, make sure they have had Mobil 1 from day one or have had the sump dropped and cleaned. The reverse gear is also prone to breaking as I found out from experience and is expensive to fix.

I have a brand new Haynes manual for the petrol if you decide to buy and some THULE roof bars.

2006 17.5″ Rocky Mountain Blizzard frame (Reynolds 853 disc specific frame with rack mounts) and salsa seat clamp. Immaculate condition £300

I have some brand new old stock Kona parts to fit if you decide to get a replacement built including replica 1996 decal sets, Kona Control Centre headets, Kona cable guides (dog collars), Kona Curve brake sets, Kona Velocity stem etc.

I would get Dave Yates to build a replica using the exact geometry from your current frame if it really must be identical including the tube spec etc.

I would not worry though, I still have my 1992 Kilauea and it is still going strong.

I have an immaculate 2006 17.5″ Rocky Mountain Blizzard (Reynolds 853 disc specific frame with rack mounts) for sale complete with Salsa seat clamp.

Yours for £300
