OK, so the innuendos could go on forever, but this issue is closed as far as I'm concerned.
Cove puts out a great product, and if you break it, they will seriously hook you up. It just takes patience. If I didn't live in the same corner of the country as them, I don't know if I would deal with this type of stuff.
Here's the new build:

All in all it built up pretty sweet, and I think it may even be lighter than the steel frame.
Sweet! Was the frame you broke steel?
Yeah, it was Columbus Nivacrom. Super thin wall, butted and funky shaped. In my neighborhood test rides today the Easton RAD tubing is noticably different. On the steel, manualing off curbs the rear wheel hits with a nice muted "thoink", now it hits with a big sharp "PANG!". Although in comparison to some other Al frames I've ridden (Big S, Trek, Cannondale) this one seems to have a smooth touch.Quote:

Reminds me a little of a P3. Very sweet. I still prefer "thoink" over "PANG" :D
