She came in at about 12kgs, pretty happy with that for an aggressive XC build. Not too light on parts, but strong enough.

A handjob with no frills attached (frame only) retail for around $1100 over here.

Very sexy, I really like the new Cove frames.

Any idea what the frame alone weighed? One of them in Pixie Blue would really make my day.

Forgot to do that, was too excited and started to build start away.

I am short in the upper body and longer in the legs I think. I always ride small bikes. This one has a really long top tube, so the frame has heaps of stand over. Which is something the Coves are known for. If you notice the Demo in the background has a lot of post for some people, yet that is low for me.
