Cove Hummer, 18" first generation.

[pearlbaz]

Don't know if it counts as true retro, but it's an early version , made by Sandvik apparently (who also made Kona Hei-Hei's, and it's v. similar), has canti bridge on seatstays, and will take up to an 80mm fork.
Titanium frame, welds are beautiful, and it's in very good condition. The guys at Silverfish have shown pics of it to Cove, who say its a first generation from around 1995-1996.
No disc mounts, but it has plate dropouts and may take a disk adaptor.
Weight 3.5 lbs
Pics available, looking for offers around £350
Based in Brighton

the photo above is of when I recieved her 18 months ago, fully restickered. I built her up as a fast commute, and she rides nicely, but accelerates up hills like a rocket. She does have shiny marks from cable rub. I am 6ft tall, and always found her a little cramped for my ride. I now have a 20" frame which I find a better fit for commuting duties.
More pics available of her built up on request.
