Our quiet success story, Cove have been with us from the very start. The 100mm adjusted Stiffee was ahead of its time. Jody and Mark treated themselves to matching red Stiffee FRs to celebrate the success of the 1st year of Moonglu and we've been selling these ever since. One of the original trail hardtails, set up with Fox Vanillas and a smattering of choice components, the Stiffee built into a really sweet trail bike, and still does. Geometry has changed with fork travel and Fox Vanillas still suit the frame perfectly.
 

We always considered the Hummer a posh Stiffee, a genuine trail bike for life. Constructed by Litespeed for Cove, the Hummer came onto our radar in 2005 when Cove adjusted the geometry to take the latest 130mm trail forks. Jody treated himself again and really pimped his Hummer. A close relationship with Guy Kesteven from What Mountain Bike resulted in an award winning test of that bike. What resulted was amazing for Moonglu, calls and orders from all corners of the country, the Hummer What Mountain Bike special was a massive success.

The Handjob is Coves real gem, a really nicely made steel hardtail. We've done more custom builds on Handjobs than we can remember. Like all the other Cove frames, the Canadian 'north shore' geometry is nailed, all the bikes handle really well but the Handjob is affordable to many. 2008 was a standout year for the Handjob, frame orders came almost weekly with happy customers shortly after.

Other builds have trickled out, Hustler, G-Spot and even Playmate have sold in small quantities over the years as they are quite niche frames, smart, but really niche.
