alright mate! Looks like you have the kind of aggressive hardtail I'm looking to get. I'm thinking about an Orange Crush although I did ponder on the Cove Stiffee frame for a while too. What's it like? Heavy? Good to ride all day? What did you have before?
hi mate,, the Cove Stiffee is amazing, I love it! used to have a Norco Ryde (14in) before and the Cove is in a completly different league, it does cost as you have to spec it to it's worth but even with my freeride set-up it's light enough for all day use easily, easy to air, so rigid has handled all downhills too. Even took it down the skyline with no issue. Perfect all round hard tail. Cost me over £2k to get it how I wanted it but absolutley no regrets!! My mate has the Crush though and it's good, it aint no Stiffee but I reckon thats what I would have gone for otherwise, I told him to get the crush you see!! It's quite heavy but not annoyingly so, handles the down well. All the best with your decision making.
