It's finally here!… The wait has been worth it though. 17.5inch frame built to a budget for go everywhere stealthy steelyness!!
Lots to fiddle with set up wise yet..

nice BTW, if they are as good as the original ones you won't be dissapointed

and if thats built to a budget, it was a healthy one 😆

Scotchlite graphics are awesome!.. depending on type of light they reflect you get variations of silver / bronze / gold..

Not fitting bashguard yet..

Thanks to Paul and Dan at Samways for help and inspiration..

those tyres actually look suited to the bike ,love the frame colour/decals

I reckon it'd look better with the decals off the forks.

Looks ace.

Where did you get the gold graphics? I want a Cotic wrap but in white with Cotic in orange. I was looking for a vector file (only because I was told that was best) for the graphics but couldn't find one.

Chappers… Yes the graphics are standard on Gritstone Bfe's.. Don't think they are available from Cotic but I think the other colour wrap options are… Check out their website for colours and give them a call.

Thank god the medium gritstone is sold out, saves me buying one for no good reason…

Must admit the more I see the BFe the more I'm liking it.

Could never justify it though!

Looks like the colour scheme took over a bit when choosing the bits and bobs??

Thanks Kelvin/RV. I have never noticed the gold decals on the Cotic website before. I'll give them a ring re decals or get some custom ones made up (if that's OK Si!).

Osian: Tyres are Michelin all terrain 2.2's… Had them left over from previous bike.

Argyle: I am 6ft and was torn between which size to go for, the 17.5 inch medium was definitely the right choice for me, seat post is nowhere near max on climbs and long days pedalling.
On singletrack and decents its mental, flickable and precise… just mega!!
