Watchin' you. Writing it all down.
BTI doesn't "stock" Cove frames. BTI just dropships the frame from Cove to the ordering shop when they get an order. So just because BTI says no stock on the website doesn't mean you can't get them. If Cove has the stock then BTI has the stock.

A friend ordered a frame from them and it showed in a week. If I remember he got killed on customs duties.... so you may want to find out what that's going to be beforehand.

I was going to start a thread called. "canadians. I need a handjob" and see if a monkey could pick one up for me and ship it if I paypal them the funds... but I hope BTI works.

I hope they don't jerk you around Shirl. Nothing worse than tossing ya money away.
That'd be hard to swallow. Make sure they check the frame over well, you don't want to have to ream out your own seat tube cos of overspray.

I'm looking forward to hearing about how it rides. After reading your threads I checked out the frame at Cove's website and now I am thinking of getting one.

Are you getting the handjob instead of the chameleon? I would think the Stifee would be more your style. I have ridden the Stifee and it was nice. I don't see many Cove's around here though.

Sold bikes for sure.

Frames like the Stiffee are a dime a dozen. Ala Chemeleon, Scirocco, etc. ect... I like them fine but its not what Im looking for.

I wanted a steel trail bike that could accept a 5" fork. I really couldnt find something else that fit the bill, except something shoddy looking like the DMR trailstar.
