Picked up late last night and first spin in the woods. Medium frame, long, slack just like it said on the tin and its going to be a lot of fun!
Great build from Swinnertons in Stoke, cant wait to take it to Verbier next month!
Very nice. The more I see these the more I like them.
Your battery bag position is very offensive.
Not another one! They're as common as muck 🙂 Looking forward to hearing how you get on with it.
The bars are so wide I might also put a bottle holder on them..
Lovely - enjoy!
Whenever I see a bike with straight tubes, I always give them a little extra kudos.
Very nice indeed. Colour is excellent. Well done.
Be slightly careful of the cable routing under the shock mount. It can wear away a groove in the end of the shock under repeated compressions. Did on my Rocket anyway.
Your fence wants re-erecting.
Agree that the battery bag is highly offensive and the bottom picture would suggest that the rear tyre logo/rim logo alignment is slightly below par. Do you still have the receipt?
It looks as though Swinnertons have routed your cables the "wrong" way as well. I thought it was just me who put the gear cable on the right and the rear brake on the left of the head tube rather than looping them round. Probably worth putting a protective patch on each side of the head tube if they haven't done so already as they will rub a bit.
Does it feel long to you? I find mine (large) feels slack and the front wheel is reassuringly far out in front, bit I don't feel at all stretched out when riding it. In fact it just feels as though it fits. I don't seem to be any slower round corners either, but I'm sure that's just because I was never getting close to the limit on the shorter bikes either. Maybe the extra length is more noticeable if you usually push a bit harder.
Really nice and Friday is Cotic day! Enjoy!
