Doesn't look like it's built up yet Geoff, think it only turned up with them this morning.

I'm sure there will be pics up later today, if not I will try taking some tomorrow.

Breaking news form the Cycle Show - the new Soda arrived this morning and has now ben built, it's sat in our "living room" office and Cy is about to do the video interview. It'll be posted on the front page ASAP.

PS bike looks gorgeous, brushed logos, very racey looking. 🙂

I've just seen the bm report on the new Cotic frames at the cycle show. And, while the Soda looks absolutely gorgeous in their shot, their suggested pricing (£1650) sounds steeeeeeeeeeeeeep. Suddenly I'm happier that I bought an '08 Soda, rather than disappointed that I missed out on the new frame loveliness.
I'm just curious - does the pricing suggest a move upmarket alongside more established brands and away from the more traditional On-One/ Charge peer group?

That has to be the worst footage ever! 😉

I want to see the shape and curves of the stays, mud clearance etc... The shot looking up at the front wheel from the ground is great. Sheesh.

New ones are built by Merlin, which brings a full custom tubeset, incredible attention to build quality and a lifetime warranty. They're the same great Cotic shape, and just as I want it tube-wise, which means mud clearance is heeeowge, chainstays are s-bend and seatstays aren't, just like the Soul and previous Soda.

that looks rather nice - and begs the question - why would anyone ever want to paint a ti frame?
