Cove Handjob (2006)

Conception

This Cove Handjob was originally built in the Spring of 2006 using parts from a Yeti DJ. The Yeti DJ had proved an unsuccessful bike. The idea was to build a good hardtail using any suitable components from the Yeti DJ. The Yeti DJ had also started life using components from an earlier bike. That bike was a Kona Caldera built from a frame and individually selected components.

I established there was a Cove dealer in Brighton; Sydney Street Bikes. So I went along and ordered an orange Cove Handjob frame. I got Sydney Street Bikes to dismantle the Yeti DJ and build up the Cove Handjob for me.
