Gratuitous Handjob Picture

Sorry, just had to do it. Just replaced my 2004 Handjob frame with a new one. Rides even better than the last one and looks pretty cool too IMO. Did Ae today and it was awesome



That is all

That is cool. I have a O8 Handjob, it is a great bike. How have they tweaked the new frame or is it a different steel used in its contruction?

have fun with it.

Cycling forums the world over are more entertaining places because of Cove :P

I love a nice Handjob...

Riiiight, now that the childish joke's out of the way, that's a cracking bike. And BTW - Dome? I've ridden with a "Dome" before at Kirroughtree. You aren't mates with Greg Wilkinson are you? (something tells me it's Pizza Hut related but I could be thinking of completely the wrong person). Small world if so...

Nice one, here's mine at the top of Minch Moor, Innerleithen.



Fantastic frames.

Hi Ally, yep the very same Dome. There's not many of us about. Were you the chap with the other handjob?

To answer Pastrana72's question, Geometry wise it's got a slacker(I think) head angle which helps on the climbs as my old one felt a wee bit long. On the downhills it'll take a bit of getting used to, I can basically use a bit more travel (I'm running revelation 85-130's) to get the same feel as i had on the old one with less travel. Still feels lovely tho , I can thoroughly recomend these bikes.

Yesterday was just getting a feel for the bike, still kept the bloke behind on the carbon nomad honest tho

Ah, small world indeed. That's my mate (also called Ally confusingly) who was riding the other (blue) Handjob. I'm trying to think back to when that was? But I would've been the one wearing a Met Parachute semi-fullface helmet though, probably on some sort of steel hardtail (I've gone few a couple in the past few years: Cotic Soul, Dialled Bikes Love/Hate, now a Genesis Altitude and could be changing to a Cotic BFe...).

I might even have been driving a van at that time or my Ibiza if it was more than 2 years ago...

Thanks for that, intresting.

heres mine.



It is a great bike, it is my 3rd Cove. The other two Stiffee and Hustler get a lot of use too.
