2003 Cove Handjob near Box Hill in the Surrey Hills
2003 Cove Handjob

Thomas bought himself a new bike after his Orange UFO committed hari kari in 2003 by chewing up its rear wheel and derailleur leaving him to look for a ‘cheap’ frame to get mobile again.

After a bit of investigation he settled on the Handjob as an ‘interim’ solution while he checked out the full sus market. It has a mixture of salvaged parts from the UFO and some new bits, like the rear wheel and brake.

We’ll publish more details after we’ve reviewed it in depth.
