    Just reading the blog link off the cotic website.

    Anyone have any details on the above frame? 🙂

    It was a one*-off made for Kate originally for Mtn Mayhem solo and then used as her guiding bike out in Luchon with AQR.

    Also recently borrowed & used by Anne Dickins at 24 Solo World Champs in Oz too… http://annedickins24.blogspot.com/

    Aluminium frame 4″ travel made from very light tubing – I believe Kate’s is the only one still going.

    Anne was at A Quick Release when we were there and had the KP24 as a loan bike for the week… Lovely thing, it weighed nothing at all. Sat beside my Hemlock you could see there was a wee bit of shared DNA but the end result’s a totally different bike. Bit small for me though!

    Best bet would be to ask Cy or the Potters I’d imagine. I thought I had some pics but apparently not.

    The KP24 is a one of a kind bike. It was designed by Cy at Cotic for Kate potter to be the perfect 24 hour race bike. It has the same suspension as the hemlock but shares the geometory with the soul. Cy designed it to be as light as possible so that Kate could use it for endurance races. The only thing it shares with the hemlock it the seat tube and the pivots. everything else being lighter and smaller- the weight of frame with mad dt carbon shock is a mere 5lbs

    No. You’d break it. VERY, very scary light rockers and other parts on it.
