[Closed] First Proper Ride Out - Cotic Soul 2010 - Well Impressed 🙂

Morning Folks,

A couple of weeks ago I finished my current build - A Cotic Soul 2010.

Seemingly not a very conventional build with 100mm stem & 115mm fork - but it works for me 😉

Apart from a few pootles around the block I had not had a chance to ride the bike properly......until Sunday 😈

Summer tyres fitted, quick once over then off.

I have ridden a load of hardtails over the years built from a range of materials. I have always had a penchant for steel even over Ti.

Well after 15 minutes of being out on the Soul I am well impressed. It was as though I was riding a short travel full sus in the rough and a carbon HT when climbing 😯 amazing stuff.

After an hour and a bit i had to stop as I had ridden harder in that hour than I had on any ride in the last few years.

[b]Credit where credit is due - Cotic seem to have gotten it spot on, well for me anyway![/b]

A big thank you must also go to the lads at [url= http://www.cycle-world.co.uk/ ][b]Cycle World[/b][/url] who put together an awesome package of parts for me - Cheers Chris & Joe 🙂

Looking forward more than ever to the next ride now.......
