I'm thinking of buying a Soul, I have tried a friends medium and it felt pretty good, but based on my size (5'6") and Cotic's website I should be on a small. I would really like to have a sit on / possibly a quick spin on a small for comparison. I'm based in Marsden, West Yorkshire, is there anyone local with a small that would be willing to let me try?

I'm 5' 6" and ride a 16" cotic soul. Spot on for me. With an 18" I wouldn't have had the stand over height.

Definitely a small. I'm 5'8 and ride a small. It has a long top tube so just raise the seatpost

Rick, my Mrs is the same height as you and felt that the small Soul was slightly too big, so went for a Genesis Altitude in 16" . Whilst you are welcome to have a go on my Soul, I'm pretty certain that borrowing Hazel's bike might be of more use! If you find a small Soul to borrow locally and aren't sure about sizing then I'm sure you could borrow Hazel's Altitude - they are a very similar bike after all.

@riklegge - for info I'm 5'10" on a medium BFe (same geo as Soul say all) so I'd say a small is the right size

5'10" here with 30.5 inside leg and my new medium Soul fits a treat. Sounds like small is right for you.

Defo a small mate. I'm 5ft 6 and had 3. Online seatpost and 70 stem I found to be spot on.

I'm 5'8" with 29" inside leg and my Soul is a small which is perfect.

I down south though so unfortunately I can't help with the test ride.

Forgot I posted this. And rudely forgot to give you info riklegge! 5'8" here and you need a small!
1981miked - even more bad forum etiquette, I haven't stuck an ad on here yet and as I'm on my mobile it's a pinkbike link till I get to a proper computer...
