Seen a nice one for sale in my budget.. any reason why not?
Nope, a mate has one and loves it - there was a facelift about then I think maybe? I believe they switched from a 135 to 142 rear end and to a tapered headtube. The 'old' ones were still available for some time after the switch so a '2011' frame might be an older design - but I believe geo etc was unchanged so does it really matter?
Good frames have had a 2010, 2012 & now 2013 carbon Covert as sold my 2014 one.
2012 went to 12x142 rear.
2013 increased to 160mm rear travel.
Stick a Works headset in it/longer fork/offset bushings and it'll be fine.
wheels will be a bit small

Matches my hobbit legs.. Will be built up with some 150mm team revs, rp23 bv, flow ex pro 2s, and mix of XT, Saint and slx bits.
I'm thinking having a decent bike will inspire me off my tripster a bit more.
Thanks for the tips on the bushes/headset
