Cotic Jeht? – Page 2 – Bike Forum – Singletrack World Magazine Forum

I’ve been seeing a few ads recently for reduced Cotic Jehts. I’ve currently got a Scott Spark 970, which , generally, does everything I want, but, the Tuesday night rides at Ae are a bit more demanding, so a XC bike is not the best thing, but will suffice. Anyway, with the 0% apr, I can afford to get the cotic, and pay it off over a year/maybe two. General searching doesnt really have a bad word for it, some say a bit overweight , though its about the same as my current Scott. Geometry is a bit more stretched, and I really do like the thin 853 tubes compared to the bulbous Scotts ally. The reduced ones appear to be a Taiwan Jeht, as the colour is a horrible brown, thats the only thing I dont like, the colour. Any differences between UK and Taiwan frames? Obviously price and colour, but the spec seems to be the same, yet the Taiwans are cheaper. As for its ride, I presume it will be a better bike for going down steep hill sides, going up, what, about the same? How about frame bearings, they look quite exposed, is that a problem? And any other thoughts on the Jeht? Thanks.

Glad you have a bottle solution you’re happy with.

Bag looks neat as well. Here’s the Cotic one that’s designed to go in the same spot:

Yes, thanks, but there are no mounts

Odd, the frame specs for the Gen 1 states one bottle mount and Gen 2 two bottle mounts.

Yes, there are two bolt holes for a mount, but, they are in the stupidest place possible, underneath the downtube, directly in the spray from the front wheel, and too far down to reach when you are riding. As well as being in the way of a roofrack clamp too.
