Yesterday was the first ride out on my new-to-me Cotic Rocket (mk1 26er). I’m still grinning.

Bloody epic bike. Climbs just as well as my steep-angled 120mm XC bike it replaced, but far happier on the descents. Ahead-of-its time geometry in 2012 means it’s spot on these days, despite it’s age.

And it says ROCKET on the top, which is great as my 5yo always shouts ROCKET BIKE when she pedals fast, so that makes me smile and reminds me to have fun.

Obligatory bad photo:

And yes, the gravel needs weeding.

Absolutely splendid. Love Cotic bikes. I have a soul26 same colour. Black is always the best colour for bikes.

Funnily enough I plan to get it repainted hot yellow over the winter 🙂

Lush!! Nice one mate!

And yes, the gravel needs weeding.

And the fence needs stain.
