Just wondered if there are any ladies on the forum with Cotic Souls. I'm just interested in what height you are, what size Soul you went for etc. Pictures always good. Mine is coming on Monday, and I'm just thinking about what length stem I need etc.

Bit late to the party!

I'm 5'5" with a very short body, long legs and very long arms. Mine's a small.

Stem is I think a 70, have recently reduced number of spacers. Build is Fox 120mm forks with thru-axle and remote lockout and the rest has come from my full suss. Namely Hope Pro3 wheels with (very tight) DT rims, Hope Mini Pro brakes with carbon levers, CK headset, XT chainset, carbon riser bar, Thomson stem and seatpost, Straitlines pedals.

Comes in at 25 lbs.

Generally am pretty happy with her although she's not top dog in my stable. Not long back from a 36 miler on her. ๐Ÿ™‚

Do post up pics when yours is built up!

Hi Cinnamon_girl - Yeah - I've got a 70 mm stem to go on the Soul as my start point. Its arriving on Monday, so I'll get it built up ASAP. Its going to be kitted out with Fox Float 32's, SLX/XT drivechain, Avid Elixir CRs, Easton EC finishing kit, and Hope Pro2 / Mavic XM819 wheels with Maxxis Ardent front and Crossmark rear. I've done a little spreadsheet, and it will be about 25.6 lb. I'll pop the pictures on as soon as its built!
My other bikes are a 21.3" ETTL Roadrat with flats, (which is a tad small), and a Giant Cypher which has an ETTL of 21.7", and I ride it most of the time. I'm getting the Soul to get me back into hardtailling.
