The missus has one. Still not entirely sure why I don't. Pretty much every time I ride it I end up with a grin on my face. The only 2 reasons I can come up with are that a)I like having one MTB (out of 4) that's NOT a Cotic, and b) neither of us want matching his'n'hers bikes...
I think the early ones were slightly flawed, but the latest variants are truly good bikes. Sensibly light, sensibly tough, more than stiff enough, versatile, and typical Cotic handling.
Hers is around 28,29lb with 2010 Revs, Hope M4s, XT/XO mix and sensible "good but not silly light" finishing kit. I think my BFe is actually heavier...
