I think being a 2005 it wont have warranty but being steel it may last a bit longer than normal.

From what I've read, even you might have trouble breakin' a Cove Toolong, have fun tryin'

That is exactly what I am hoping...but after seeing some of the trails they have around Chamonix I will be needing a tough one

Ive heard the older models had cracking problems and for you toolong Ive been keenly looking at a Cove Handjob XC myself recently and Im told the newer models do not have this issue. I 'think' 2005 is the 'old' model. If I had a choice, I'd pay the extra $280 for the piece of mind. Atm the Cove is #1 on my list to build up a steel hardtail, but the jump in price is certainly significant.Mulger bill wrote:From what I've read, even you might have trouble breakin' a Cove Toolong, have fun tryin'

only problem i see is the bike is called "handjob"
i can see it now, your riding down the street, you get calls of, "hey buddy, nice handjob" or "wow, nice bike, i wouldnt mind a handjob also", or if they try and mug you they will say " how buddy, give us a handjob".
Not good IMO
