Hi,
I know a lot of people are interested in cotic seeing as it's such a great brand so you might be interested in my latest project too.
Having been a cotic soul owner previously I decided to get back on the cotic band wagon and having looked around endlessly for a cheap BFe I ended up buying this soul frame for £50.
It's a bit of a mess having been powdercoated and also has a dent in the non driveside chainstay but I thought I'd have a go at restoring it to its former glory.

So the frame is off to the painters just now where they're going to repair the dent and paint the bike before adding decals and lacquer.
It's going to be my main play bike for Glentress etc. having just sold my Meta 5 frame so it won't be in the same guise as is shown in the pics. I just built it up with bits from my singlespeed to check it was all straight and true before spending any cash on it.
I'll be using some of the parts from the meta, namely:
SLX double crankset and BB
SLX shifters 9spd
SLX cassette 9spd
SLX brakes 200mm front and 180mm rear
Stans ZTR355 Wheels with Hope Pro2 Hubs
Charge Spoon saddle
Time roc attack pedals
- and have treated myself to a couple of things to finish it off:
Deore front mech
Hope headset
Hope seat QR
On-One bars
On-One stem
On-One seatpost
Bontrager XR4 2.35 tyres
2009 Rockshox Revelation U-turn 100-140mm
Can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to getting this built up. Could be a couple of weeks until I get the frame back from the painters though. Until then all I can do is admire all the new kit that's going to go on it. Going to have legs of steel by the time it's finished as I'll have to ride the singlespeed all the time.
