Starting to fancy a Covert over some of the other possibilities and wondered if there were enough UK owners to get a nice photo thread going? 🙂

What size and colour are you thinking about? I have a small 2010 in red I am looking to sell, it has only been on a few rides but I seem to have forgotten how to ride full bouncers so replaced it with an Alpine, not had a chance to put it on ebay yet.

Hey Entonox - do you ride a single, double or triple up front? A lot of the American pics on Pink Bike and MTBR seem to be running Hammerschmidts, so just wondering.

me too, i have been getting more and more tempted with a covert, not a bouncy biker though, it would be my first fs in many years...
Anyone know anywhere that has them on demo?

We should have a demo covert soon. Just waiting for the 2011 frames to come in. I will probably end up being a med frame. We have just finished the Trans am demo in a large but haven't had a go on it yet.

If you get one, go for a hammerschmidt with it. Makes it climb smoothly, plus all the other benefits. Seems the perfect bike for that kind of tool.

I like the look of coverts, if I ever get enough cash together I think it would be a tough choice between one of these or a SC butcher
Anyone know what warranty transition frames have?

From their website - 2 year defect warranty, lifetime crash replacement.

And I can thoroughly recommend Crosstrax in Leeds.

Covert is very nice but the Dixon is pretty tempting, anyone ridden one? No tabs for a chain device though which is a bit of a shame.

Hooja - we had a demo but sold it to make way for new 2011 stock. Should be in soon.
