No worries.

Changed as the cotic is slightly smaller, slightly lighter and have wanted one for years...came into a bit of cash recently so took the plunge

Nice build....I have some flow rims, reba's and shimano drivetrain just waiting for a chance to jump onto a soul frame from my current 18" hardtail too. Have to ditch the reverb though so wondering what size gravity dropper classic for a large soul, although sounds like you've gone medium rather than large frame?

Hi Kiwifiz you're right i have a medium but would suggest you get the longest dropper you can as there's a lot of seat post showing on these frames.

BTW my dropper has been brilliant since i've had it and have used a reverb previously.

Thanks 2POC...that's very helpful reassuring to hear the GD's an OK replacement for the reverb........now I just need to work out how to convince the wife that a new frame is needed....think she might notice that upgrade whereas others have slipped under the radar!!

It looks spot on to me. Looks great in black.
I had one years ago, an early one. Difficult to put a finger on exactly what it is about the ride that just feels so right. Enjoy. 🙂
