Geez I donīt belive that anybody, I mean, nobody knows abuot this bikes, I know both frames are made by small builders, but at least some one of you must read something, know somebody who ownes one or have a clue, ever heard abuot 6 degree separation, I'm waiting for replays... as the song says "itīs there anybody out there?"

Yeah...

Nobody has a Cove! I'm terribly interested in the "Cove Hooker". I went to their website... but alas, not much info there. It's really the only dually that's perked my interest, as I ride a slalom style hardtail (Azonic DS-1...see it on Post Pics of your Bike!) If you get any info, let me know.

ok,

how about this. im not familiar with the mangoat but i have a friend who rides the stiffee. he not only gets hours of enjoyment making jokes about people riding his stiffee, he rides the hell out of the bike. he is infamously hard on bikes and speaks highly of the cove. hope this helps. by the way the cove is a pretty friendly frame when it comes to the price also.

Thanks, finally I got the cove, and my girl got me the mangoat as a chrismas present, sorigth now Í'm test riding both bikes, the stiffie is super strong, very ligth, but has put me on the gruond a cuople of times, because Iīm not very used to the geometry, I feel the top tube is very shot, and I tend to go overend on step decents or drop, ( maybe itīs not a bike fault, but mine cause I chiken sometimes... ), and the mangoat is very agile and climbs super fast, cornes pretty well and it will be my xc bike while the cove is going to be my freeride (arenīt all the rides free?) and conmuting bike what do you think?
