OK, so here's the situation.
I've just built up my lovely STS. I love it, but I don't love it enough not to be tempted by something else (especially as the STS is probably one size bigger than I'd have liked, given the choice)..
The "something else" has presented itself in the shape of a rather lovely 2005/2006 15.5" Cove Hustler frame. I can't afford to buy it outright, but I could afford it if I sold the STS frame.
Now, I've built the STS with non period bits (Pace RC40s, Hope Pro 3s, Crank Brothers bits), so I won't need to buy anything else if I got the Cove (literally nothing - the only difference is the seatpost size, but I've been offered a seatpost with the Cove so that's not an issue). I could swap everything straight over, and all of the bits on the STS would look just as at home on the Hustler...
The Cove is in perfect working order, as is the GT.
So, do I go with the Cove or do I stick with the GT?
